Hopefully they rather use something like http://matrix.org
Or maybe something like… the existing IETF standard for IM: XMPP. With plenty of implementations, support across the globe, servers that can scale up to millions of sessions.

An interesting aside: In 1998, India tested its nuclear weapons (Pokhran-II [1]). Almost immediately, US imposed sanctions. One of the terms of the sanction? "Bar the export of certain defense and technology material" [2]. I can't find a source but I do remember that IE used to ship with reduced encryption. Perhaps we have learnt some lessons since then :-) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokhran-II [2] http://edit…

Conversations is the only decent XMPP client, and server XEP support is a mess. Its unusable for normal people if you want to use any kind of advanced features.
I hope they go for Matrix, like France did, but I get a feeling they'll be hit hard by NIH.

Matrix already does those things and a lot more.
I'm not saying that Matrix is bad, or that XMPP is definitely better, but the facts are there and we'd better stick to that than hold on how we feel about each piece of technology.
Internal communication is usually great source for historians and posterity. Not to mention parliamentary investigative bodies.
