Dutch government tests European messaging app to reduce reliance on WhatsApp

State Secretary Willemijn Aerdts, responsible for Digital Economy and Sovereignty for D66, warns that reliance on foreign messaging apps like WhatsApp and Signal poses a risk to the government. Her ministry has launched a pilot project with a European alternative as a first step, with the long-term goal of adopting a messaging platform fully controlled by the Dutch government.

Throughout the pilot phase, the state secretary and a select group of officials will use the alternative messaging platform to communicate. Her spokesperson declined to disclose which European app is involved, noting that the project is still in its infancy.

"At present, much of our communication relies on platforms beyond our control. In a world where technology is more and more used as an instrument of power, that poses a risk," the minister said.

대부분의 AI 비디오 도구는 새 앱을 열고 새로운 인터페이스를 배우며 상세한 프롬프트를 작성해야 하지만, Pexo는 기존 에이전트(텔레그램·왓츠앱·디스코드) 안에서 작동해 별도 앱·복잡한 학습 없이 같은 장소에서 바로 비디오 기능을 제공한다는 점을 강조한 발표성 트윗입니다.
