The interface, the security and the privacy is lousy: - you can't even remove yourself once another 'kind' family member has signed you up. - you can edit pretty much any information in your family's tree Their method of recruiting new members is to have your family sign you up – a new twist on spam.

The interface, the security and the privacy is lousy:
– you can’t even remove yourself once another ‘kind’ family member has signed you up.
