How you feel when your data can be somewhere there in the dataBreach websites?
"On Friday, the California-based company said in a regulatory filing that the personal data of 0.1% of customers – or about 14,000 individuals – had been accessed by “threat actors”. But the filing warned that hackers were also able to access “a significant number of files containing profile information about other users’ ancestry”.


The company confirmed to TechCrunch on Saturday that because of an opt-in feature that allows DNA-related relatives to contact each other, the true number of people exposed was 6.9 million – or just less than half of 23andMe’s 14 million reported customers."

We don't know if they are hiding more information but yeah on the profile info and ancestry have been leaked, the raw files are still safe.

The sad part is that it only goes back a few 100 years. How are you a full Somali and don't know your ancestry at that length of time. Of course most of us are 100% Somali on the test, we never left at that time.
 
I heard 23andme is more accurate.
There's nothing more or less accurate on a DNA test. It just clusters you with a group from their database. 23&me had a campaign where they had a bunch of Somalis do the test to create the Somali group in their database. If they're Somali and we're Somali, and the data is connected to them, then why the fk would any of us waste our money doing the test there?

So where do you suggest we take our tests for accurate results?
 
23andme about to make somalis establish a blood purity caste system.
In my opinion you must have 2 Somali parents from the major clans to be full Somali. (100% Somali DNA).

If your father is Somali but your mother is non Somali you are Half.

Whereas if you have non Somali father you are instantly not Somali.

Also if you are a male that does not have the E or T haplogroup you are also not Somali.

There are quite a few sheegatos who like to tarnish the Somali image. This is crucial so we can expose them.

They are mainly oromos, Ethiopians and people with Somali mothers.

I agree. However I think half Somalis can be more integrated if they are brought up in a somali environment.

Fathers blood alone won't help, I've seen too many half Somalis that have somali dads but are barley somali. Our constitution says that all paternal Somalis are fully integrated, but does that include 3rd and 4th generation mixed somali who's paternal line is somali.
 
So where do you suggest we take our tests for accurate results?
Honestly, I don't really have a suggestion. If I were to do a test, I would do it with an organization that can give me my data and then use that on another tool so I can look for myself on what I am according to different databases. Probably using GedMatch. Though I don't think I'd be interested in doing a DNA test
