In his latest newsletter for The New York Times, Opinion Editor Peter Coy writes about "The People's Bid for TikTok," an effort led by Project Liberty. In addition to highlighting Jonathan Haidt's recent revelation that Gen Z is largely disenchanted with the current prevalence of social media platforms, the piece also features an interview with Frank McCourt, executive chairman of McCourt Global and founder of Project Liberty. In their discussion, McCourt laid out Project Liberty's vision for TikTok that ditches the harmful algorithm and gives users a say in how their data is shared and what content they're shown.

Protecting children online is at the core of Project Liberty’s mission, and the United States Justice Department’s lawsuit against TikTok reminds us just how urgent it is to create a viable and privacy-centric path forward for TikTok users.
