> French prime minister Elisabeth Borne asked that government workers "take all measures" to deploy Olvid by December 8.
> France's junior minister in charge of digital, Jean-Noel Barrot, wrote in a social media post that the messaging app had been used by his team since July 2022.
> "In December, the entire government will use Olvid, the most secure instant messaging service in the world."
