"De-Google-ify Internet" is an initiative by Framasoft, a French not-for-profit association, aiming to reduce dependency on major tech giants and promote digital sovereignty. Through this program, Framasoft offers free, open-source alternatives to popular online services provided by companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, encouraging a more ethical, transparent, and privacy-respecting internet.
Since 2014, "Dégooglisons Internet" has launched numerous tools and services in areas such as collaborative work, communication, file sharing, and data management. Examples include Framasoft’s Framadate for scheduling, Framaforms for creating surveys, and Framapad for collaborative document editing. Each service is designed to respect users’ privacy by minimizing data collection and encouraging users to take control of their data.
Following the success of this project, in 2016 Framasoft launched the CHATONS collective, which brings together organisations offering free, ethical and decentralised online services, just like those in DĂ©googlisons Internet.
