I'd like to hear opinions on MyNumber.

When I lived in Norway, we had a similar thing that you need to do absolutely anything. It was actually very convenient, saved a lot of paperwork, and made life easier. You can generally trust the Norwegian government to look out for your interests and not abuse a system like that.

I'm hearing very negative opinions about the MyNumber system here in Japan. I trust the Japanese government less than I do the Norwegian government. What do others think? Are the risks greater than the benefits, if there are benefits? I'm legitimately curious and have no solid opinion on this.
