Hope this isn’t a repeated submission. Funny how they’re trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

Is it also the User’s fault for the 6,898,600 people that didn’t reuse a password and were still breached?
Yes, because you have to choose to share that data with other people. 23andMe isn’t responsible if grandma uses the same password for every site.
23andMe is responsible for sandboxing that data, however. Which they obviously didn’t do.
User opted-in to share those data
You opt in to share your data with Facebook. Would you still consider it an issue if your data was breached because someone else’s account was hacked?
I would consider normal that my photos that I only share with some people were leaked if one of those people’s accounts got hacked.
Did you not read my comment? Users opt in to sharing data with other accounts, which means if one account is compromised, then every account that allowed them access would have their data compromised too. That’s not on the company, because they feature can’t work without allowing access.
They weren’t breached. The data they willingly shared with the compromised accounts was available to the people that compromised them.
Pretty sure nobody clicked a button that said “share my data with compromised accounts.”
There was a button that said “share my data with this account”. If that person went and shared that info publicly, how is that any different? The accounts accessed with accessed with valid credentials through the normal login process. They weren’t “breached” or “hacked”.
