I have tried to quickly diff the previous TOS with the new one and I wasn't able to identify any big changes. I would like to know what the actual changes are. I see a lot of articles criticizing the new TOS, but no one is showing the actual wording differences.

Does anyone have an actual diff?

Comparing:

https://www.23andme.com/legal/terms-of-service/full-version/

two things jump out at me, as a layman:

insertion into the middle of Limitation of Liability "WITHIN THE LIMITS ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT 23ANDME SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES"

Lots of changes to the Dispute Resolution, and new content re: Mass Arbitration. However, the previous ToS still had binding arbitration clauses, and stuff about class actions.

Ah, I really appreciate this. I did not know that the old TOS was available under the /4.1 link. And I like the full-version links!

In case the older version goes away, here is the archive.org version from October 25, 2023:

Why do the actual work when you can just come to the HN comment section and rant about what you think it means!
