AdultFriendFinder Founder Allegedly Funds 'Race Science' Network That Accessed UK Biobank Data
Oct 17, 2024, 01:02 PM
Recent investigations by Hope Not Hate and The Guardian have uncovered that an international network promoting discredited 'race science' and eugenics theories is allegedly receiving secret funding from a US tech multimillionaire, reportedly including the founder of AdultFriendFinder. The Human Diversity Foundation, associated with right-wing extremists in Germany, aims to influence public discourse with pseudoscientific ideas, including interests in racial differences in penis size and IQ. The group claims to have accessed sensitive genetic data from the UK Biobank, raising concerns over data privacy and the potential misuse of health information. Tech money is propelling the resurgence of these discredited theories, as highlighted in articles by Adam Rutherford.
