What is the People’s Bid?
The People’s Bid is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Americans to reclaim a voice, choice, and stake in the future of the internet. In April 2024, Congress passed legislation forcing a ban or sale of TikTok in the U.S. Project Liberty is building a broad consortium of technologists, investors, community leaders, and creators to purchase TikTok and migrate the platform to new infrastructure that allows people to control their own data. We believe a reimagined TikTok can preserve the creativity and dynamism that have made it the cultural engine of the internet while fixing the issues that led Congress to act. Today’s TikTok is a problem. Together, we can make it a solution to the issues created by Big Tech.

Better for:
Creators
With aligned incentives and clear governance creators will be able to reach their target audiences and monetize their content more effectively.
CITIZENS
By shifting TikTok’s business model from an attention economy to an intention economy, the platform will give people more control over their feed and deliver an experience that's more fun, relevant, and trusted.
FAMILIES
The People's Bid aims to protect our most vulnerable citizens: children. A reimagined TikTok can provide the foundation for a better digital experience for kids and families.
Brands
Rather than wasting valuable advertising dollars on bots, brands will be able to confidently reach audiences in a trusted marketplace of interested customers.
INVESTORS
Investors in The People's Bid will have the opportunity to generate value across a vast new digital ecosystem and harness a series of groundbreaking innovations with the potential to generate strong returns.
COMMUNITIES
A decentralized TikTok will return power to the people and eliminate the flawed incentives that have often led to fraying ties between friends and neighbors.
THE COUNTRY
The People's Bid will not only address potential national security concerns, it will also protect and strengthen democracy by creating a stronger digital foundation for healthy civic engagement.
