# 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**.
|
|
|
|
🔗 **Live site: https://exitchatcontrol.org**
|
|
|
|
## 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**:
|
|
|
|
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. No build, no dependencies.

*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.*
