The fact that whenever I open myGov on my iPad, and immediately see "connect your digital ID" makes me never want to do that. They also want me to use this ID, which is linked to my Medicare, citizenship, voting, etc., For social media and other accounts, which instantly rings alarm bells in my mind, the government and corpos knowing that I am exactly who I am, and that I am likely not able to disconnect it from myGov nor the social media platforms it could regulate.
