Against Google? I am more inclined to think the dude is actually a serial killer than that he has a chance of winning a defamation suit.

"Google wrongly called me a serial killer" is a story many news outlets would love to run. He has the capacity to give them massive amounts of bad press, in a time where US regulators and politicians are closely looking at the dangers of automated algorithms from tech monopolies.

I think he has a very good chance of receiving a settlement, Google will not want to take this to court.

We are lucky because Google is not running a DNA service. Otherwise, who knows whether they will link to him to a serial killer.

Although weirdly enough 23 & Me's CEO Anne Wojcicki is Sergey Brin's ex-wife.

And she is the sister of Youtube's CEO. :)

So much collusion :)
