First, why are you talking about LiveKit? I see nothing in the article mentioning it, and with a bit of further digging I found another article elaborating on the new solution being developed in France: "The French government has announced the full rollout of Visio, a domestically developed video conferencing platform that will replace Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and other non-European tools across all state administrations by 2027" with no mention of LiveKit: "On the technical side, Visio is hosted on the sovereign cloud infrastructure provided by Outscale, a subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes, and certified under SecNumCloud by ANSSI, France’s national cybersecurity agency. The platform supports AI-powered meeting transcription using speaker diarization technology from the French startup pyannote, with real-time subtitle generation from AI research lab Kyutai expected to be added by summer 2026"[0].
Second, why do you use scare quotes on "open stack" when the entire stack does indeed appear to be open source?[1] If Visio is in some capacity using LiveKit, it seems not just plausible but very likely they are building their own infra using LiveKit's stack rather than paying LiveKit for SaaS.
Third, under the reasonable presumption that any use of LiveKit would be using LiveKit's stack on their own infra, why would it matter who else uses LiveKit?
In short: I try to assume the best, but it seems very much like your post is a shallow attempt at muckraking.
