This shit should be illegal. Your DNA should be entirely private to you and only sellable by you. This shit should count as theft.
The more time passes the more the true motives of the big panic are revealed.
And what do they do with it exactly? Legitimately asking why someone would want my DNA
I literally just today took a fit to fly lateral flow with cignpost
How is this acceptable or legal?
Utterly dystopian stuff here.
You see when I start to rant I’m told I need to calm down but someone tell me why doesn’t the govt lock this down asap? Because it’s entrepreneurship. Cunts, the fucking lot of them.
We did not agree to that. That has to be stopped now and profits recovered.
And then we would call this a conspiracy theory if an antivaxxer would claim this can happen.
What’s funny is all the anti vax conspiracy theories and they never mentioned this one. Before all this started there was so much crap about facial recognition cameras, those same people who made the fuss are now up in arms because they have to cover their face
I’ve noticed Cignpost are also advertising on Reddit at the moment.
They need to fined into oblivion. Ruin everyone with the slightest stake in it or this will only get worse.
Did y’all opt out of sharing your medical data with private companies?
We got a brief, and quiet opportunity to do so last year.
Ignoring the selling DNA data for a minute. Is that £35 for an antigen test?
Just another reason why NHS free covid tests should never go anywhere.
First thing what I said when I saw these tests.. just watch how quickly they’ll start flogging our DNA samples. It’s utter bollocks !! And if they sell it with your name on it – if I run an insurance company I would pay a small fortune to know how long I can milk my customers without having to pay them when they’re struck by disease
Whats the difference between a conspiracy theory and covid news… a couple of months.
This should worry anyone who’s seen No Time To Die…
What I don’t get is who would be buying this?
Easy enough to get free DNA down the back of bus seats et al.
I feel this is similar to a shop selling your credit card details to third parties after you’ve used it there
This might explain why my details come up on 23 and me without ever taking a dna test
Manadatory testing for travel should never have been a thing.
And yet another thing the conspiracy therorists predicted comes true.
Ha ha ha my wife thought I was crazy saying they’d do this.
It’s not hyperbole or conspiracy: data is the new oil, and we’re all just giving it away every day.
