23andMe is updating its TOS to force binding arbitration with a limited opt-out window (stackdiary.com)

This change will force its users into binding arbitration, which is a means to resolve disputes (such as a cybersecurity breach leaking your DNA data) outside of court.

It would if you dont utilize the opt out during the window, all TOS' are written that way, every ody that's used them already agreed to be bound by a TOS that's subject to change, as long as they post the change and offer an opt out from that point forward, it's legal. That's why places always send those updated TOS notices.

Sadly many people that used them did so with real information. Anybody that did should download their profile, request data deletion and opt out of the terms.
