Last week, our founder Frank McCourt joined Liz Claman on Fox Business Network's "The Claman Countdown" to discuss a People's Bid for TikTok. Together, they talked about the importance of data ownership and the broad coalition of people supporting this bid, and McCourt voiced our shared vision for the platform's future: “We call it the People’s Bid for a reason. We think the 170 million users of TikTok should be owners of TikTok, not just people creating value for someone else, but actually stakeholders in the platform.” Learn more about our bid for TikTok: https://bit.ly/bidfortt #tech #data #tiktok
