At SXSW 2025, entrepreneur Frank McCourt announced discussions with Tim Berners-Lee regarding a potential integration between Project Liberty and Solid, an initiative geared towards empowering users with control over their data. While a formal partnership has yet to emerge, McCourt highlighted compatibility between the two projects. Both share a vision for a more decentralized web, aiming to restore power to individuals regarding their online identities. Berners-Lee's support for Project Liberty, particularly in its TikTok bid, reflects shared philosophical goals about internet empowerment.
"We're debating, or talking, right now about how to incorporate that - him and Solid, his Solid Pods - into the project," McCourt teased.
"This project has my [Tim Berners-Lee's] support. The web I invented was to provide power and value to individuals, which they do not have at the moment."
