Frank McCourt, the founder of Project Liberty and former owner of the LA Dodgers, aims to acquire TikTok as it faces legal scrutiny over a U.S. ban due to its Chinese parent company ByteDance. McCourt argues that the current control of the app by the Chinese Communist Party poses a national security threat to American users, urging ByteDance to divest from the platform. He proposes to transition TikTok's users to a new platform that empowers them to control their own data and identity, emphasizing that his bid aligns with national security and antitrust regulations.
