About UsProject Liberty is stitching together an ecosystem of technologists, academics, policymakers and citizens committed to building a better internet—where the data is ours to manage, the platforms are ours to govern, and the power is ours to reclaim. ^^ The internet is broken, and it's urgent that we fix it. We can – and must – do more to safeguard the health and wellbeing of our children, our democracy, and our society as a whole. The institutions and ideals we cherish most are being destroyed for use of free apps that steal our personal data and digital identities.Submitter's Note: This StratML rendition was compiled from the source by Claude.ai and edited in the XForm at https://stratml.us/forms2/Part1Form.xml]Project LibertyPRJTLBRT_PL00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000Project Liberty is an initiative founded by Frank McCourt to build a better internet—where the data is ours to manage, the platforms are ours to govern, and the power is ours to reclaim.

And yet, today we lack the models where people can participate in the economic upside of their data and online contributions.
