Chaque outil est présenté avec « à quoi ça sert », « pour qui », et « comment l'installer ». +A free, bilingual (EN / FR) guide to escape **Chat Control** and take back control of your digital privacy: encrypted messaging, email, VPN, DNS, 2FA, Linux, GrapheneOS, self-hosting, and more. Every tool is presented with **what it does**, **who it's for**, and **how to install it**. -## Contenu +🔗 **Live site: https://exitchatcontrol.org** -- **`index.html`** : le guide complet, un site web autonome (aucune dépendance, s'ouvre directement dans un navigateur). -- **`images/`** : captures d'écran à insérer dans le guide. -- **`article-presse.md`** : article de presse actionnable, prêt à publier sur un blog, une newsletter ou en Article sur X. +## What is this? -## Publication +On 9 July 2026, the European Parliament let "Chat Control" through, opening the door to the scanning of private messages across the EU. This project is a practical, no-nonsense answer: a single, self-contained web page that references privacy-respecting tools anyone can use to opt out of mass surveillance, from the everyday citizen to the whistleblower. -Site statique : dépose le dossier sur un hébergeur statique (Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages) ou sers `index.html` avec Caddy sur un VPS. +It is intentionally simple: no tracking, no dependencies, no build step. Just open `index.html`. -Domaine : https://exitchatcontrol.org +## Repository -## Licence +- **`index.html`** — the full guide (a standalone website). +- **`article-presse.md`** — a ready-to-publish, actionable article (for a blog, a newsletter, or an X Article). +- **`images/`** — screenshots used in the guide. -Voir le fichier `LICENSE`. +## Contributing + +Contributions are very welcome. If you know a useful app that helps circumvent Chat Control or protect privacy, please **open a Pull Request** (or an Issue) to add it. **I review every submission personally.** + +To be accepted, an app must meet **three simple rules**: + +1. **It has traction** — an established, actively maintained project with a real user base, not an obscure or abandoned tool. +2. **It is open source.** +3. **It is privacy-respecting.** + +That's it. If it ticks those three boxes and genuinely helps people escape surveillance, it belongs here. + +**How to contribute:** +- Fork the repo, add a tool card in `index.html` following the existing format (logo, "what it does", "why", "who it's for", install steps), then open a PR. +- Not comfortable with code? Just open an Issue with the app's name, its link, and why it qualifies (traction + open source + privacy), and I'll add it. + +## Roadmap + +Right now, the goal is deliberately narrow: **reference useful apps to circumvent Chat Control**, on one clean, fast page. + +Later, the site will be refactored to support more: + +- Full written guides +- Dedicated pages for each application +- Step-by-step tutorials + +This single-page version is the foundation the rest will be built on. + +## Running it yourself + +It's a static site (one `index.html`, plus an `images/` folder). Host it on any static host (Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages) or serve it behind a reverse proxy.

To reclaim your tools is to become ungovernable.*
