European governments ditch US tech services over security fears
European governments are moving away from US tech giants, opting for domestic or open-source alternatives
Across Europe, a quiet revolution is underway as governments and public institutions increasingly pivot away from US Big Tech services, embracing domestic or open-source digital alternatives. This strategic shift, driven by a burgeoning desire for “digital sovereignty”, sees French civil servants preparing to abandon Zoom and Teams, Austrian soldiers adopting open-source office software, and German bureaucrats turning to free programs for their administrative tasks.
The French government underscored these concerns last week when it announced that 2.5 million civil servants would cease using video conferencing tools from US providers – including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and GoTo Meeting – by 2027… The objective, the announcement stated, is “to guarantee the security and confidentiality of public electronic communications by relying on a powerful and sovereign tool.”
A pivotal moment occurred last year when the Trump administration sanctioned the International Criminal Court’s top prosecutor, following the tribunal’s issuance of an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, an ally of President Donald Trump. These sanctions led Microsoft to cancel the ICC official’s email, a move first reported by The Associated Press, which ignited fears of a “kill switch” that Big Tech companies could wield to arbitrarily suspend services.
Other incidents have fuelled the movement, including a growing perception that repeated EU efforts to curb tech giants like Google with antitrust fines and sweeping digital regulations have done little to diminish their dominance.

France to ditch US platforms Microsoft Teams, Zoom for ‘sovereign platform’ citing security concerns
The move is part of France’s strategy to stop using foreign software vendors, especially those from the United States, and regain control over critical digital infrastructure. It comes at a crucial moment as France, like Europe, reaches a turning point regarding digital sovereignty.
The move also comes as Europe has questioned its overreliance on US information technology (IT) infrastructure following US cloud outages last year.

France dumps Zoom and Teams as Europe seeks digital autonomy from the US
LONDON (AP) — In France, civil servants will ditch Zoom and Teams…
Around Europe, governments and institutions are seeking to reduce their use of digital services from U.S. Big Tech companies and turning to domestic or free alternatives. The push for “digital sovereignty” is gaining attention as the Trump administration strikes an increasingly belligerent posture toward the continent, highlighted by recent tensions over Greenland that intensified fears that Silicon Valley giants could be compelled to cut off access.
Concerns about data privacy and worries that Europe is not doing enough to keep up with the United States and Chinese tech leadership are also fueling the drive.
The objective is “to put an end to the use of non-European solutions, to guarantee the security and confidentiality of public electronic communications by relying on a powerful and sovereign tool,” the announcement said.
“At first, it was: we will save money and by the way, we will get freedom,” Vignoli said. “Today it is: we will be free and by the way, we will also save some money.”

Why France just dumped Microsoft Teams and Zoom - and what’s replacing them
France plans to replace all US video-conferencing services, marking the EU’s latest push for digital sovereignty - with more moves on the way.
It’s not about the French government not trusting US tech companies… Sorry, actually, it is. It’s all about France not trusting American companies with its data or services.
Non‑European platforms will not be renewed
EU officials argue that relying on US-hosted services exposes government discussions to foreign laws, such as the 2018 US Cloud Act, which authorizes the US government to access data even when servers are located on European soil.
Moving forward, licences for Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, GoToMeeting, and all other non‑European platforms will not be renewed as departments migrate, with full deployment targeted by 2027.
France is making this move not only to support digital sovereignty and improve security. The Élysée is also selling the switch to save money and stimulate local industry. The move aligns closely with an EU‑level push to reduce reliance on dominant US cloud and software vendors; the European Parliament recently adopted resolutions urging more control over critical digital infrastructure and AI platforms.

France is ditching Zoom and Microsoft Teams for a homegrown video platform
Lawmakers warn this creates both strategic and legal exposure, citing the US CLOUD Act, which allows American authorities to access data stored by US-based companies even when the servers are located abroad. The law, they say, means that European governments’ most sensitive data could still fall within US jurisdiction.
