Lisa Kalayji<p>"[creator of open source genetic database OpenSNP] Greshake Tzovaras says that he is particularly concerned about the rise of DNA phenotyping, which is a dubious process in which DNA “portraits” of potential suspects are generated based on a DNA sample; he called the practice “unreliable nonsense,” and said that a startup had once approached OpenSNP to help them create a DNA phenotyping product to sell to law enforcement. "That's something we don't want to see in the world," he said.</p><p>“Across the globe there is a rise in far-right and other authoritarian governments. While they are cracking down on free and open societies, they are also dedicated to replacing scientific thought and reasoning with pseudoscience across disciplines,” Greshake Tzovaras wrote. “The risk/benefit calculus of providing free &amp; open access to individual genetic data in 2025 is very different compared to 14 years ago. And so, sunsetting openSNP – along with deleting the data stored within it – feels like it is the most responsible act of stewardship for these data today.”</p><p><a href="https://www.404media.co/open-source-genetic-database-opensnp-shuts-down-to-protect-users-from-authoritarian-governments/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">404media.co/open-source-geneti</span><span class="invisible">c-database-opensnp-shuts-down-to-protect-users-from-authoritarian-governments/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DNA</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InfoSec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Genetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genetics</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ethics</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Police</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Security</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Data" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Data</span></a></p>

For those who haven't heard of it before it is simply 'furring' (known as plaque) of the arteries and veins. This in turn can cause clots that stop blood supply.
