The European Commission has rolled out Element Pro, a self-hosted alternative to Microsoft Teams, as a backup if U.S. technology becomes unavailable.

Some officials have slammed the system, with one calling it “absolute shit” and another saying the U.S. would “instantly win the war” if access to American technology were cut off.

Element says the Commission is still testing the platform and that early technical and usability problems are expected.
