Agreed, "myid" used to be called "mygovid".
But myid/mygovid is NOT mygov. I'm guessing the rename is likely because of that confusion.
mygov usage is high, 26 million accounts, according to [1] 2023 report.
Myid usage seems middling. 13 million according to [2] 2024 article.
Which platform to use for what and how I leave to you.
I don't want this. I don't want the government's aim for auditable provability of every item watched/interacted with in the name of "won't somebody think of the children!!!" level of authoritarianism.
There are plenty of households without kids. Why are they having to pay a privacy price?
