"23andMe's Data Breach Sparks Urgency for User Action"

TL;DR Summary
After a recent data breach, 23andMe has updated its terms of service, giving users 30 days to opt out of a class-action waiver. If users fail to opt out, they will be deemed to have agreed to the new terms. The changes to the terms of service include procedures to encourage prompt dispute resolution and streamline arbitration proceedings. The update removes users' previously acknowledged right to seek public injunctive relief for irreparable harm. The new terms also introduce a 60-day initial dispute resolution period and a process for mass arbitration.
