In the new issue of Boston Magazine, our founder Frank McCourt shares the dangers of today's broken internet and how a People's Bid for TikTok is part of the solution to fix it: “What I’m focused on here is the harm being caused by the current architecture of the Internet and, more specifically, how we’re all having our data, our personhood, stripped from us. It’s being aggregated by these big platforms, and Project Liberty is intended to re-imagine how the Internet works.“ Read the full interview: bit.ly/McCourtBoston #tiktok #internet #technology

📙 REPORT - Unlocking Digital Identity: Insights from Use Cases for Enhanced Implementation, Trustworthiness and Individual Empowerment The Human Technology Foundation, with the financial support of the Project Liberty Institute (PLI), has published its report : Unlocking Digital Identity: Insights from Use Cases for Enhanced Implementation, Trustworthiness and Individual Empowerment. This report is the result of several months of reflection led by Grimaud Valat, partner at DTMV Avocats and Senior Advisor to the Foundation and Fabien T., Project Manager at the HTF. The Human Technology Foundation brought together an international working group composed of private decision-makers (Thales, Docaposte, McCarthy Tétrault, EY), experts, European and North American regulators including CNIL and the ITechLaw Association network, to study around twenty global use cases of digital identity systems. Digital identity, essential for access to the digital economy and public services, also enables the implementation of reliable and autonomous systems. This report addresses the ethical, regulatory, and socio-economic aspects of these technologies and proposes solutions to ensure the development of an open and inclusive digital economy. Our study not only unveils specific unresolved problems within these domains but also furnishes targeted recommendations aimed at enhancing the reliability and individual-centric nature of Digital ID systems. The report's conclusions were enriched by interviews with renowned experts such as Cédric O (Mistral AI), Fabrice Brunet (Quartier de l'innovation en santé de Montréal), Thomas Klein, Municipal Councillor at Ville de Suresnes and Henri Verdier (Ambassador for Digital Affairs). This report is structured around 4 key themes associated with recommendations : ✅Online protection of minors, ✅Health, ✅Electronic voting, ✅and authentication of content created by generative AI systems.

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
