Natural Language Encryption to bypass the Chat Control Act

Lortnoc Tahc enables encrypted messaging on unencrypted platforms via Natural Language Encryption.

Passed this week

Chat Control allows tech companies and governments to read every message you send

Violating your privacy without giving you a choice

This is just the beginning

They wrote the law assuming you’d accept it.

That’s Chat Control spelled backwards.

We built the opposite of the law.

Take back control of your privacy

by transforming every message into friendly small talk.

What you type

Hey, I’m gonna send you some crypto for our business deal

What they store

Hey let’s grab coffee today. The sun is out.

What they read

Hey, I’m gonna send you some crypto for our business deal

Natural Language Encryption.

Natural Language Encryption transforms your private messages into innocent small talk. It’s auto-decrypted on your friend’s end via the Lortnoc Tahc plugin. Hide in plain sight, using steganography.

Encrypted messaging on unencrypted platforms.

It runs inside Telegram as a browser extension. No new app. No bot. No account access. No permission asked, because none was required. It reads and writes the page you already had open.

Become an alpha tester

Lortnoc Tahc is an open-source project, and our team is in the process of productionizing it. By becoming an alpha tester you acknowledge that you're using an unaudited browser plugin, for testing purposes. We appreciate any feedback, bug reports, and other commentary as we proceed with our build.

We will only reach out to you about alpha testing. We will never share your handle.

Install · verify, don’t trust

Don’t take our word for it. Read the code, then run it.

A privacy tool you can’t inspect is just another promise. So there’s no store gatekeeper and no black box: the extension is built in the open by public CI, published straight to GitHub, and you can rebuild it from the tag and check it yourself before it ever touches your browser.

  1. Download the latest build from GitHub Releases — served by GitHub, not by us — and check its SHA-256 against the value on the release page.
  2. Unzip it, open chrome://extensions, and turn on Developer mode (top-right). Chrome will note it’s a developer extension on each launch — expected, and the price of not hiding behind a store.
  3. Click Load unpacked, choose the unzipped folder, open Telegram Web, and toggle PrivacyMaxxing on. You’re hidden.
How to install — step by step Download the extension Read the source

It’s an unaudited alpha and it loads unpacked, so it won’t auto-update — we ship often, so check back. A Chrome Web Store listing is on the way; the verifiable path above will always be here.
