# Exit Chat Control
|
|
|
|
A free, multilingual field 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**.

## What is this?
|
|
|
|
In July 2026, the European Parliament let the "Chat Control" machinery advance — the amended text now sits with the Council, and the permanent version (CSAR, "Chat Control 2.0") is still being negotiated. This project is a practical, no-nonsense answer: a guide referencing privacy-respecting tools anyone can use to opt out of mass surveillance, from the everyday citizen to the whistleblower.
|
|
|
|
Its promises, all enforced by tests:
|
|
|
|
- **Static and self-contained** — no tracker, no cookie, not a single request to a third-party domain.
|
|
- **Readable with JavaScript disabled** (Tor Browser "safest" mode included) — scripts only power the theme, filters and checklist.
|
|
- **Multilingual by design** — every language is a real prerendered route with correct `hreflang`; adding one means adding translation files, not touching code.
|
|
- **Printable and mirrorable** — a single-file offline version ships with every build.
|
|

## Stack
|
|
|
|
[Astro](https://astro.build) (static output, built-in i18n routing) · Tailwind CSS v4 (design tokens, `light-dark()` theming) · TypeScript strict · Vitest (content integrity, i18n parity, domain allowlist) · Playwright + axe (no-JS readability, zero-third-party-request guarantee, WCAG AA) · Docker (multi-stage build → nginx). Package manager: pnpm.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pnpm install
|
|
pnpm dev # develop on http://localhost:4321
|
|
pnpm build # static site + offline artifact in dist/
|
|
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up preview # prod-like: nginx + security headers on :8080
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Production deploys `docker-compose.yml` (single nginx service behind the platform's reverse proxy — Coolify, etc.), or point any static host at `pnpm build` → `dist/`.

## Contributing
|
|
|
|
Contributions are very welcome — a tool to add, a translation, a correction. **Read [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](./CONTRIBUTING.md) first**: it contains three simple rules for tools (traction, open source, privacy-respecting), a mandatory affiliation-disclosure policy, and a CI-enforced external-link policy. Large changes start with an issue, not a PR.
