Local Researcher Says You Should Delete Your 23 and Me Data

WWAY spoke with a UNCW Professor about the recent 23 and Me bankruptcy. The advise given was to delete your data because it could be used for other purposes for which it was intended - like an insurance company raising your rates because of genetic conditions reveled in your data. DNA is not protected by HIPAA.

Goodbye Red Light Cameras

Wilmington, the last city to have red light cameras, will be turning them off soon. They 5-year contract that the city had will be allowed to expire. Not date was given for the official cut-off date. See the story at WWAY’s website.
