23andMe just sent out an email trying to trick customers into accepting a TOS change that will prevent you from suing them after they literally lost your genome ro thieves.

Do what it says in the email and email arbitrationoptout@23andme.com that you do not agree with the new terms of service and opt out of arbitration.

If you have an account with them, do this right now.

Wow, that's dirty. The email you need to opt out at is different from what they link. If you don't respond, you automatically agree to their new TOS which bars you from taking class action against them. Shady af.
