Its FOSS (or I guess FLOSS for this case since they are French lol), meaning it doesn’t matter if the people creating the app are “good” or “bad” actors. A “good” actor can always create a fork or host their own instance.
Shouldn’t it be the other way around? I’d expect e2ee to be a requirement for anything for the administration even if their laws are a little funky (rules for thee not for me, etc).
Yeah, it was definitely that and not all the web browsing and searching you and your colleague did before, during, and after the meeting, and the meeting notes you sent over gmail/microsoft mail. 🙄
We like to think EU abandoning tech companies will create a new privacy FOSS ecosystem, when in reality they will likely just recreate their own Tech corps like China and US now that they have skin in the game
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

I hope they do work on e2ee and they it will indeed come soon.
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.

Still a threat to themselves lol
Zoom has poor encryption. I have 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.
I’m not convinced Zoom doesn’t just sell your contact information to third parties.

It says “coming soon”, which I guess probably means it’s a somewhat second-class feature.
This wasn’t built to be a great service, it was built to be a French controlled one.
Never heard about this.
France requires companies to get permission to export cryptography. They’re one of the worst countries in Europe for crypto.
