Not only for them, but any other non-European videoconferencing software.

    France has horrible laws for encryption, so how much do you want to bet this thing doesn’t have e2ee.

    This is an Intel operation

      This tool is developed for France’s administration, not for the public. They host the servers. So I don’t think e2ee is indeed a requirement.

      Zoom has poor encryption. I has seen targeted ads a day after discussing very specific chemical reagents on zoom.

        Zoom, Teams, Meet, and all the major providers do not have e2ee on by default. It’s a paid extra and almost nobody turns it on.

        Mega uses e2ee by default, and it cannot be turned off.

      This wasn’t built to be a great service, it was built to be a French controlled one.

        France requires companies to get permission to export cryptography. They’re one of the worst countries in Europe for crypto.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
