23andMe Is Terrifying, but Not for the Reasons the FDA Thinks
The genetic-testing company's real goal is to hoard your personal data
Consider the case of Google. (One of the founders of 23andMe, Anne Wojcicki, is presently married to Sergei Brin, the founder of Google.) When it first launched, Google billed itself as a faithful servant of the consumer, a company devoted only to building the best tool to help us satisfy our cravings for information on the web. And Google’s search engine did just that. But as we now know, the fundamental purpose of the company wasn’t to help us search, but to hoard information. Every search query entered into its computers is stored indefinitely. Joined with information gleaned from cookies that Google plants in our browsers, along with personally identifiable data that dribbles from our computer hardware and from our networks, and with the amazing volumes of information that we always seem willing to share with perfect strangers—even corporate ones—that data store has become Google’s real asset.

Cohort Type Studies
A cohort is a "group." In epidemiology a cohort is a group of individuals who are followed over a period of time, primarily to assess what happens to them, i.e., their health outcomes. In cohort type studies one identifies individuals who do not have the outcome of interest initially, and groups them in subsets that differ in their exposure to some factor, e.g., smokers and non-smokers. The different exposure groups are then followed over time in order to compare the incidence of health outcomes, such as lung cancer or heart disease.
