France to Replace Teams and Zoom for "Sovereign Control" | Vantage on Firstpost | N18G

For years, Europe spoke about digital sovereignty as a future goal—important, but always postponable. Then Donald Trump returned to the White House, and “tomorrow” became urgent. Europe realised a hard truth: its economy, governments, data and daily life run on foreign technology, mostly American. France is now pushing back—mapping its dependence, stress-testing its digital systems, and even building homegrown apps to keep data under its own laws. This isn’t about copying Silicon Valley or blocking global tech. It’s about control, choice, and resilience. And Europe isn’t alone. From India to Africa, the same question looms: who controls the digital rails we all depend on?
