They simply dont. Ancestry actively does not cooperate with law enforcement as a policy. GED match does, sure.

Ancestry requires a specific warrant for a specific individual - not a relative or a broad search. Their terms are very clear and so is their track record. They also do not keep your dna after you request that it’s deleted.

The industry is fragmented and too little regulated. But it’s incorrect that the government has ready access to all dna tests however they want to use it. When you see that the govt dod a dna search of relatives, those are of very specific databases with very specific rules.

If you were born in a state hospital, if you have ever had blood drawn, they probably have your DNA. The tech exists. It has nothing to do with specific companies, although, most of those companies are owned by Mormons.

Do you trust Mormons? Do you know why some people don't?

You should reread that second sentence you wrote. You’re telling me a company doesn’t comply with law-enforcement … and what they just let it go when they say no to a search warrant? That’s simply not how that works, and there are many instances where it has been handed over and even solved crimes because they did handed over…..
