So, what rich billionaire wants to buy the company, anonymize the data, then release it open-source? Would be a genuine boon to biohackers everywhere, privacy be damned.
With due respect to Poe's law, I spend a lot of talk hearing about how data can be made "anonymous" and somehow you could use it without running into problems with PII. And it's usually wishful or naive. This really takes the cake though. You could certainly aggregate the data in way that preserves some (differential) privacy. But DNA is the the least impersonal data I could imagine.
I imagine there are far more devastating bits of PII to publish than genes, like your porn-watching habits. I don't think this is a strong rhetorical stance to defend genetic data.
Contract law is kind of diseased. I don't think it's a good idea to build a society around letting people sign basic protection from corporations away.
