Restoring the Internet to its original purpose: a useful, clean, and safe tool for everyone.
The goal of this project is to fight the degradation of the World Wide Web. Over the years, the network has become cluttered with noise: invasive advertising, disinformation, malware, and toxicity. Let's Clean The Web is both a manifesto and a practical guide for anyone who wants to contribute to a digital "spring cleaning."
We want to reverse the trend. We aren't just here to browse; we are here to curate the digital environment we live in every day. We focus on four pillars:
- Security: Reporting and neutralizing malware and phishing attempts.
- Information Quality: Combating disinformation, fake news, and clickbait.
- Digital Ethics: Reducing hate speech and promoting constructive dialogue.
- Digital Minimalism: Shrinking our digital footprint and removing the unnecessary.
If you want to help us clean the web, check out our detailed guides:
- How to Report Malicious Content - Learn how to flag phishing, malware, and hate speech.
- Digital Footprint Reduction - Steps to delete old accounts and browse privately.
- Digital Behavior & Community - How to interact ethically and fight online toxicity.
- Clean Your Repositories: On GitHub, archive or delete "Hello World" projects or abandoned tests.
- Support Open Source: Choose tools that respect privacy and don't turn the user into a product.
This repository is a work in progress. You can help in several ways:
- Add Resources: Do you know of great tracker blockers or data-cleaning tools? Open a Pull Request.
- Submit Guides: Found a tutorial on how to stay safe online? Share it in the Issues.
- Spread the Word: Apply these principles and help your friends and family do the same.
