You really trust a large government bureaucracy that's been beholden to large pharmaceuticals to get this right? Really? The danger of the information is that great? I'm just not buying it and the comments in this thread so pure "anti-disruption" bias which apparently is the new hipster anti-hipster sentiment. 23andme provides information that can be used in conversation qualified professionals. You might was well shut down every medical related forum, Yahoo Answers, WebMD and the rest if you really think that information or misinformation is the danger. Really people take a step back the current memeset at look at the facts.
I think this comment is conflating "regulation" with "shutting down".
As a society, in the USA, we have created the FDA and empowered it to cast a watchful eye over certain types of marketing and manufacture. Regulation limits the rate of innovation in exchange for attempting to limit harm.
