DNA-testing site 23andMe fights for survival

Summary

Nutrition label

72% Informative

DNA-testing site 23andMe was once one of the most talked-about tech firms in the world.

Its share price rocketed to $ 321 , but now it is worth just under $5 - and the company is worth 2% of what it once was.

Experts say the firm is 'highly unlikely to survive' and says it is committed to protecting customers' privacy.

"The terms and conditions of these companies are typically incredibly inclusive; when you give out your personal data to them, you allow them to do pretty much anything they want with it," she said. "Until we ban the trade in personal data, we are not well protected enough." Additional reporting by Tom Gerken .
