The House Committee on Energy and Commerce is probing how 23andMe's recent bankruptcy could affect customer data privacy. Representatives have raised concerns regarding the company's handling of sensitive genetic information in the event of a sale. They pointed out ongoing issues customers face when trying to delete their data, noting that direct-to-consumer firms like 23andMe lack the protections offered by HIPAA. This investigation comes after 23andMe filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, with co-founder Anne Wojcicki resigning to pursue a private bid for the company.
