    Ah, because government-funded software is obviously safer. /s

    I bet, if they develop their own messager, they won’t make it open-source.

      I’m all for governments using taxpayer money to develop good software as long as they make it open source, sadly that’s rarely the case. Germany made some progress in that area, but that’s about it.

      I bet the idea is that the data stays in France, and I fully understand and support this. Even if it is not open-source, but of course it would be preferable.

      When you are the said government, you obviously know who is spying the app you know.
