The worst that the American government can do with your 23andMe information (not your DNA, they wouldn’t get a hold of that) is see your genetic ancestry and if you blush red when you drink.

Culture has not spoken on the pronunciation, as evidenced by the heated debate that crops up so readily whenever someone says it one way or another. And frankly they chose a fine acronym given what it is.

No, to say they’re both acceptable means it’s fine and that people get what you’re saying but it’s not how it’s pronounced. Saying “y’all” instead of “you all” is acceptable, but not correct English. That is how language works. Literally.
