Episode Details

France is championing digital independence, developing its own tools for government use to keep data within its borders. This shift, part of a larger European trend, is driven by data security concerns and US policy unpredictability. France has already rolled out its own video-calling platform and is building a suite of productivity apps to replace US-based services. The urgency was highlighted by an incident involving the International Criminal Court prosecutor. France is leaning on open-source software and collaborating with other European countries and private firms. Other European nations are also exploring similar paths, seeking greater digital sovereignty, but completely cutting ties with US tech remains a challenge.
