    Regardless of how you feel about it – we are moving into a world where US software is not trusted.

    The implications of that are just *starting.*

    We need to be bankrupted, to be honest. This whole system where we’re ruled by corporations is killing the American people. We need a reset. Yes, please use other companies for everything. US corporations need to go bankrupt and we need to start over.

    FBI is going to find out about how much access anti cheat gives and start subpoenaed gaming companies

    Frankly restricting communications tools to only those run on government infrastructure with audited software has always been the only sane and safe way to run sensitive government communications channels, regardless of how much of a loose cannon the US is right now.

    It’s a little crazy how complacent even powerful countries like France have grown under Pax Americana.

  5. The French government is moving all of their employees over to their homegrown suite of products. FTA:

    >France [last summer](https://pro.politico.eu/news/202736) mandated that officials get off WhatsApp and Telegram and instead use Tchap, an instant messaging service designed exclusively for civil servants.

    This is part of that transition, not a sudden change in response to current events.

    The title is misleading. France wants to ban US video tools only for public administrations exchanges for now.
    But yeah I think this is a good move given the current situation, and I would be happy to see other private corporations moving away from the hot garbage that Teams is.

    My only question is how viable the alternative is

    Fine get rid of teams and zoom… but replaced by Visio?

    It is hard enough getting permissions to share video and documents through outlook and teams via Microsoft already even within a company internally

    Can only imagine the pain and backwards dealings this will lead to because some manager is unable to allow his employee to download a document because „America and Microsoft“ or whatever

    No one should use Teams. We can advocate for violence against a software package, can’t we?

    I would sign up to put the virtual bullet into the virtual skull of that senile, doddering corpse of a software package.
