In 2015/2016, the president (Hollande), and its prime minister (Valls) did install a document which is "law", about technical directives for the gov and its agencies/dependencies. This document was probably written by big tech themselves. No following prime minister and even the new president (macron), did fix this obvious big tech ("whatng cartel") trojan horse.

They were probably screwed as f... or they had/have some interests somewhere ($$$).

In the last decade, all web sites were broken to be replaced by web apps ($$$), creating a hard dependency on the massively huge and complex "whatng cartel" web engines and their related massively complex c++ compilers. It is very hard to believe to anything else than corruption, really hard.

This document, which is law, which only the president and prime minister have power on, must be modified to make the difference between web sites and web apps and to mandate a web site for core and critical online services of gov and dependencies. Aka, restore noscript/basic (x)html interoperability, or "small" and technically reasonable web engines (to foster real-life alternatives from citizen, local company, etc, initiatives). All of such online services had a working web site (no app) before this document sold the gov and its dependencies to big tech (here the "whatng cartel").

No gov authorities (competition/anti-trust, justice, etc), not even the parliaments can do anything here, only the president and the prime minister.

Hardly believable, and I found out only a month ago, in spite of consulting lawyers, being part of related user groups with legal experts, etc, for 10 years. I could not understand what was going on, all this money and 'loss of strategic control' channelled in those 'companies'.
