There is some research about 23andMe and Ancestry interact with their customers, but is there research about how the customers of these companies interact with each other?

@jreidenberg Good question. Right now the firm that owns Ancestry (Permira) is loading the company with debt to pay dividends to itself. Who knows if Permira will want to keep the company after it cannot take on any more debt to pay dividends.

A steady drumbeat of you-have-no-privacy articles leads to learned helplessness among the public. There’s nothing much to learn from it except “tech = bad”. Some users will cut back on all tech while most will resign themselves. It also incentivizes companies to be less upfront.

@random_walker Additionally, the NIH requires research it funds to be made available to the public within 12 months of original publication. https://t.co/ktdIuLqmZc

@sgoldfed Interesting set of analogies. Many people use the "Web" and don't realize they are using the internet. Use "computers" but don't realize they are using a CPU. Maybe people will use "the blockchain" without realizing they are using cryptocurrency. (or vice versa)

@cocoalabs @Gankro Agreed. With the first way you might end up following a pointer when using the array. In the second, you always will.
