Two initiatives to create a more open web, where users are under their digital identity and control, can come together. In SXSW 2025, Entrepreneur Frank McCort, whose project is developing Liberty Open Internet Infrastructure (and is throwing his hat in the ring as a potential buyer for Ticketok) announced that his organization discussed about a united with the Internet Pioneer Tim Burners-Li, which is ready to control his own data.
In a panel of SXSW, McCourt shared that his team had “talked to Tim Burner-Li about solid,” saying “the project is compatible with Liberty Solv.”
Although he did not announce an official partnership, the McCourt suggested that future cooperation was going on.
“We are arguing, or talking about how – to include him and his solid, his solid pod -,” McCourt teased.
Burner-Li, known as the father of the World Wide Web, announced in 2018 that he was working with a small team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to develop solids. He also tapped British engineer John Bruce to input, a startup built on top of the open source project.
Intection has gone to launch a privacy platform aimed at the purpose of enterprises, where people control their data in online storage institutions, which are called for individual online data stores, or pods.
Keeping in mind similar missions, Burner-Li Project supports Liberty’s efforts. He even supported his Tiktok dialect and said: “I have support for this project. The web I invented was to provide strength and value to individuals, which they do not have at this time. ,
However, there is not a formal cooperation between solid and inpt and project Liberty, the latter is focused on the development of decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP).
That protocol is being adopted by a handful of apps and other projects today, including nuts; Soar.com (installed by Paul Alan of ancestry.com to create an app through a studio model); And permitted blockchain frequency (developed by Project Liberty Labs).
Project Liberty recently announced a partnership with our feeds, which is an attempt focused on protecting the AT protocol, which leads to Bluuski’s social network.
