White House Tells Agencies To Get on DotGov To Help Bolster ‘Public Trust’

The White House is directing agencies to only use government-controlled website domains as part of an effort to bolster public trust in the information and services the federal government provides over the internet.

The order comes in a Feb. 8 memo signed by Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young. It directs agencies to use either “.gov” or “.mil” for official communications, information and services.
