Semios holds your data. It does not own it. Anything you make inside is yours, and it stays yours.
What exists
23andMe filed for bankruptcy in March 2025 with the genetic information of more than 15 million customers as its primary asset for sale.
23andMe filed for Chapter 11 in March 2025. A judge ruled the company could sell its customers' genetic data. Two dozen state attorneys general sued to block the first sale; the auction was reopened, and in July the court approved a $305 million sale to TTAM, a nonprofit set up by 23andMe co-founder Anne Wojcicki.

What is possible
The Internet Archive became a US federal depository library in 2025. Its Wayback Machine holds more than 928 billion web pages, kept against deletion.
In July 2025, the US Senate added the Internet Archive to the 1,100-library federal depository network established by Congress in 1813. The Wayback Machine has preserved 928 billion web pages, 44 million books, and more. During the 2025 presidential transition, thousands of datasets disappeared from Data.gov within days; archivists worked to save the records before they vanished. HathiTrust preserves another 18 million items from research libraries. When the public record breaks, the archive is the backup.
