We live in interesting times. Friend of mine is a scientist in France. He just got briefing on what to do when traveling to the US. He was told to use an empty, freshly installed laptop with nothing but his presentation on it. Uninstall all messengers and social media. If he has to surrender any of his devices even for a minute, he shall get it checked by the French secret service for back-doors and Trojans.
I guess I rather stay home than going to a conference in the US.

The winners in this debacle are going to be firms providing video conferencing (mainly Microsoft).
Here are the European alternatives, but good luck trying to get US folk to adopt any of them…

@KimSJ @attilakinali If the EU mandated interoperability among the video conferencing providers that might be more useful!
