Basically what it says in the title. Too many sites make you jump through all these hoops to have your account deleted, and sometimes even then don’t do it.
I know about justdeleteme, but unfortunately that doesn’t cover a lot of things. Threatening legal action with my state’s attorney general—in one case, anyway—didn’t work. Maybe the EU will pass some legislation that will carry over to the US . . .
Anyway, don’t mind me, just griping.
EDIT: Sort of like the “unsubscribe” button you get at the bottom of some emails. Did they have to pass a law to get that enacted?

Was more talking about using any of them personally. They are quite unavoidable unfortunately when you have to do business with someone.
This is quite the data breach. I’d take it up with the data protection officer of the company where the doctor work if applicable or with the national data protection agency. As a non-lawyer I’d say this is a breach of the GDPR and other laws. This doctor hands over highly confidential data to third parties.
I would agree with you, but it is also very representative of how many doctors/specialists are working in the country and since we’re already short on doctors, I certainly don’t want to get her ‘removed’ ;)
