    Don’t expect any Kalshi or Polymarket ads during the Super Bowl.

    The NFL has added prediction markets to its list of “prohibited categories” for commercials in Super Bowl LX. However, as Front Office Sports points out, sports betting isn’t on that list.

    Politico reports France’s government will “ban” non-European videoconferencing software like Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet.

    According to Politico, a notice will tell state officials to instead use the “secure and sovereign” French-made Visio platform.

    David Amiel, Minister Delegate for the Civil Service and State Reform, announces the generalization of “Visio”, a tool developed by the Interministerial Directorate for Digital Affairs (DINUM), to all State services by 2027. The objective: to put an end to the use of non-European solutions, to guarantee the security and confidentiality of public electronic communications by relying on a powerful and sovereign tool.
