> It's just information

According to 23andMe (or at least their marketing) it's accurate medical information. The FCC wants them to prove that or stop marketing it as such -- a request that is beyond reasonable.



If that's the only issue, why did 23andme remove all medical information, rather than simply adjusting their marketing to say "this is all experimental, take it with a grain of salt"?



If they did that before the FDA came knocking, and/or hadn't ignored the FDA until it was too late, that very well may have worked.
