Frank McCourt Starts Effort to Buy TikTok

Billionaire Frank McCourt is assembling a bid to purchase TikTok following a U.S. bill mandating its sale by Chinese owner ByteDance. McCourt, known for his real estate success and former ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers, aims to transform how TikTok and the internet handle user data and privacy. His initiative, Project Liberty, seeks to empower users to control their personal data, challenging the dominance of major tech platforms.
