Genealogy site bought by forensic DNA company

GEDmatch, the site that let you upload your DNA profile to find relatives, and which was used to solve the Golden Gate killer case, is now owned by Verogen, a forensic DNA company that works closely with police.

As a bonus, it looks as if GEDmatch was already not doing well at user privacy, with police being allowed access to the full database, including users who had specifically opted out of sharing data with police.

Yep, nothing wrong here at all. Why wouldn't you trust them with your DNA profile? I mean it's not as if they're checking people for having Jewish ancestors or anything. Yet.
