    🇫🇷 The French government is sending a message about digital independence by ditching Microsoft Teams and Zoom for its own platform, Visio. This move is not about a lack of features but a calculated push for digital sovereignty. By 2027, every government department in France will communicate via this sovereign stack, ensuring that sensitive data remains subject to European law. The shift addresses a growing concern that relying on foreign cloud giants creates a strategic vulnerability. France is opting for an open-source architecture built on Django and React, hosted on the domestic Outscale cloud. This infrastructure removes the risk of external service disruptions while fostering a local tech ecosystem.

    🧠 The Visio platform integrates with Tchap, a secure messaging app based on the Matrix protocol.
    ⚡ French startup Pyannote provides the AI backbone for meeting transcripts and speaker identification.
    🎓 The administration expects to save millions in annual licensing fees by using in-house software.
    🔍 Data remains strictly within French jurisdiction to bypass foreign data access laws.

    @brian_greenberg savings millions while investing in your local tech ecosystem? Sounds like a pretty good deal.

      @brian_greenberg that’s great, but don’t MS already have a product called Visio - which if a deliberate decision by the french, makes this even better.

          (1)> Una de las muchas bendiciones que el Sr. Trump ha aportado a la humanidad ha sido liberarnos de la idea que Estados Unidos era la cúspide.

          Las empresas estadounidenses solo están para atender a los Estados Unidos y a sus ciudadanos (es la Doctrina Monroe llevada a sus últimas consecuencias), no al resto del planeta. Se acabaron la multinacionales USA para siempre.
          No somos el patio trasero de nadie, y mucho menos de Estados Unidos.

            (2)> Si pretende decir que Estados Unidos ha hecho mucho por el planeta: SE LO AGRADECEMOS, es lo correcto, pero no lo halagaremos ni le recordaremos que todo el planeta ha contribuido enormemente al bienestar económico de los ciudadanos estadounidenses, a pesar de su insufrible comportamiento debido a su falta de educación, tacto y escaso o nulo refinamiento. La mayoría son toscos patanes que no saben estar en una mesa; parecen seres agrestes provenientes de remotas aldeas.

Dado que casi todos los países ya poseen armas nucleares disuasorias, tal arsenal es de poca o ninguna utilidad.

                    “Palantir's software was "at the time the only tool existing on the market that met the needs of the DGSI to address national security concerns," it added. Already renewed twice, in 2019 and 2022, the contract has been extended this time "pending the deployment of a new sovereign tool," the DGSI said.”

                      @brian_greenberg Now might be a good time for Dems and other lib orgs to ditch Zoom, Gmail and other corp surveillance systems for open source systems that offer paid support and training. BTW, even though I've been using Proton for 5 years, each time I communicate with a Gmail acct, goggles can scan and mine my mail. In order to kill this, Dems need to focus.
