If you work in engineering jobs or even in electrical engineer jobs then you will understand the importance of technology. The CEO of Facebook has appeared at a lot of congressional hearings in this last week and there has also been a lot of question about who owns data and how private it can actually be as well. This scrutiny has brought a lot of attention to social media networks and various apps as well. The questions that are present now include who owns the data, where it is going to be kept and even who gets to read it as well.
Reuters have reported that the French government are working to try and create their own encrypted messenger service and they are doing this to try and ease fears that foreign countries could be spying on private conversations. This is especially the case between officials. The problem here is that France are facing other problems as well.
None of the leading encrypted messaging apps in the world are actually owned by the country or based in the country. This means that there could be a ton of data breaches from outside servers and this is just not practical. France needs to follow in Taiwan's footsteps and they have created a messaging platform called Juiker. They have done this to try and stop problems like this from happening and it could have a huge impact on the world. If every country decided to do something like this then a real difference could be made to how secure data is in the first place and the communication that comes with sensitive matters could greatly be improved. France needs to devise something like Taiwan have done so that they can feel more confident in their own country's communication.
