Billionaire McCourt Gains Support for TikTok Takeover and Data Privacy Push
Billionaire Frank McCourt is leading a bid to buy TikTok with a vision to create a new internet platform that prioritizes user data control and safety, especially for children. His initiative, Project Liberty, aims to build a healthier social media environment and has garnered support from parents affected by social media-related tragedies. McCourt's group is seen as a non-threatening buyer focused on TikTok's community rather than its algorithm, amidst ongoing legal battles and rival bids.
