France makes the first move to get rid of US software. Industrial base, not regulation, drives the self sovereignity of Internet.
The software replacing video conferencing is comes from a government department called Dinum.
"The notice will be published “in the next few days,” a spokesperson from Dinum said. That follows an announcement on Sunday by the Minister for State Reform David Amiel that France would target the adoption of a home-grown videoconferencing platform by 2027."

Late last year Dinum joined Matrix, an open source collective: "DINUM, the French Interministerial Digital Directorate, has officially announced that they were joining the Matrix.org Foundation as a Silver member and becomes the first government to join the Matrix.org Foundation."
