Exit Chat Control
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.

What is this?
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.
It is intentionally simple: no tracking, no dependencies, no build step. Just open index.html.
Repository
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.
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:
- It has traction — an established, actively maintained project with a real user base, not an obscure or abandoned tool.
- It is open source.
- 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.htmlfollowing 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. No build, no dependencies.
License

Privacy is a right, not a confession. To encrypt is to vote. To self-host is to disobey. To reclaim your tools is to become ungovernable.
