Changing 'My Report' to 'I Am an Informant': Starting a New Time of Civic Duty.

The government decided to change the name and look of the service \"My Snitch\". They think the new name, \"I am an Informer,\" sounds better and will make people feel better about using it.

Many people didn't like the old name because it made them think of bad things. They thought it sounded too negative and reminded them of something bad.

The service is getting more popular, but people kept asking why it was called \"My Snitch.\" They wanted a name that sounded more positive and made people feel good about reporting things.

Now, instead of being called \"snitches,\" people who use the service are called \"informers.\" They say this is a very important job because it helps to keep everyone safe and follow the law.

The government even made a new slogan: \"Voluntary informer – hero of our time.\" They want everyone to think that people who report things are good and brave citizens.
