Project Liberty
New organizational structure to advance product delivery, strengthen policy leadership, and expand Project Liberty’s global network of partner organizations at a vital moment for the future of digital governance
Project Liberty, a far-reaching effort founded by civic entrepreneur Frank McCourt to build an internet where individuals have greater control over their data, today announced a series of leadership appointments and organizational updates designed to further its mission to shift power from exploitative platforms to people as agentic AI becomes a foundational layer of the digital ecosystem.
“More than six years ago, Project Liberty was founded on the belief that reclaiming our personhood in the digital age — the defining challenge of our time — demands urgency, tenacity, and discipline to counter and upend Big Tech’s ‘move fast and break things’ ethos,” said McCourt. “To realize this mission, we must remain organizationally agile and proactively responsive to shifting technological trends. As agentic AI permeates every aspect of digital life, these updates strengthen Project Liberty’s ability to innovate and rapidly deploy solutions that help individuals navigate an evolving online landscape while keeping their personal data secure.”
