At least a million data points from 23andMe accounts appear to have been exposed on BreachForums. While the scale of the campaign is unknown, 23andMe says it’s working to verify the data.

    Nah dude, literally everyone does have to be able to read. You can’t do anything in life unless you can read, especially using the internet, and abusers specifically use the inability to read to exploit victims financially – if you can’t read, you can’t sign contracts or consent to anything, you can’t learn anything (and no, videos are not enough; most of the things they teach you require reading) and you can’t effectively communicate with anybody who isn’t directly in front of you.

    I agree with you about the respect part. Respect is BADLY needed and the lack of it is part of the root cause of the collapse of the education system. People just don’t think education or learning is needed, and I think deep down inside you suspect as much, which is why you were talking about victim agency.

      I am convinced that reading will be replaced with computers generating videos. Apart from that, I agree.
