Mandatory DNA test for all staff in Hong Kong Restaurant Taste of Asia?
#FellowsSubmission
(14 Aug) Taste of Asia requested all of its staff to do a mandatory DNA test. Theoretically, a "voluntary" consent form has to be signed in order for the test to be conducted, so a company cannot force employees to do the test. However, the assistant manager said if employees refuse to sign the form or verbally refuse to do the test, they would be banned from going to work.
What would happen to the pay of full-time workers? No one knows. My friend works part-time as a full-time job, so if he can’t go to work, it’s the same as being fired.
Editor’s note: LIHKG thread update on 15 Aug – The store manager said the DNA tests are voluntary. Close file. It’s intriguing that the answer given by store Manager and assistant manager were completely opposite.

The Pentagon Is Urging Its Subordinates Not To Test Their Genes Casually, How About You?
(24 Aug) On 20 December, 2019, the U.S. Department of Defense issued an internal memo advising its component personnel not to use commercial DNA testing kits, citing the potential security risks posed by these tests.
//but the protection of privacy for the subject is close to zero. Even if you buy the set under a false name, pay for it with a secret credit card, and receive it at an address that is not your own, the DNA sample is unique to you and can be traced back to only you.
//In the People's Republic of China, notifications can even be set up as a WeChat widget, which is how your personal genetic information is linked to WeChat. As long as you have a few more people around you who are genetically linked to you for testing, your relationship and your personal identity will have nowhere to hide.
