Our Biggest Fight

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.

Learn why creators, investors, activists, and people everywhere are signing on to The People’s Bid, and join us in the fight at ThePeoplesBid.com.
