GEDmatch was a website where people uploaded their own DNA. It didn’t come directly from the paid companies. They’ve also stopped making that data available to law enforcement.
It was primarily for people to identify long lost relatives. It isn’t like they just had full access to all of Ancestry etc DNA database. People who used those types of services chose to share it.
