The article was pretty light on details, but isn't it more a case of "Not Hosted Here"? This is the only relevant parts I could find:
> We need to find a way to have an encrypted messaging service that is not encrypted by the United States or Russia
and
> The French government’s encrypted app has been developed on the basis of free-to-use code found on the Internet.
I'm hoping this means they are using a mature, open implementation for most of it.
- puszczyk 8y ago+1 on that. Based on the article I hope they’re using signal or some other reputable crypto. Ideally they’ll host it in France and provide a good UI
- Davidbrcz 8y agoI think it is intended for the government only, you'll never see it as a citizen.
- Arathorn 8y agoAs per another comment, the project is 100% FOSS (other than the operational bits) and is built on Matrix.org
