- France bans public officials from using American videoconferencing platforms like Google Meet, Zoom, and Teams.
- The ban is part of an effort to shift government activities to a home-grown technology platform.
- Officials are required to use Visio, a French videoconferencing software developed by Dinum, running on infrastructure by Outscale.
- The move reflects rising European concerns over reliance on U.S. services.
