That's the big problem... the billionaire doesn't have to ticket a box. As long as someone closely related to him did then it will show you are a close relative of whoever that relative is and you can draw your conclusion from that. It's all quite sick and shouldn't be legal.Originally posted by ladymuck View PostSurely it's a breach of something or other to reveal a genetic match that way, unless the billionaire ticked a box (or didn't tick a box) that allowed his identity to be shared with potential genetic matches
A distant family member of mine is adopted (early 60s) and was able to figure out who their biological family was through one of those sites even though they never consented to supplying that information. Just was able to figure it out through a match with their relatives and then a short conversation with one of the person they matched with on facebook.
