Toy smarter, not harder. Yeah. ToySmart was an online toy retailer that crashed when the dot-com bubble burst. As part of their bankruptcy filings, the company announced its intention to sell off the names and contact information of its customers.

The FTC did want bankrupt companies to be able to maximize their value, but they also didn't want customers to suffer too much harm by letting ToySmart break their data privacy promise.

So in the case of 23andMe, the question of whether or not the company is allowed to sell my Aunt Vovey's genome is much clearer.
