It was in his Project Liberty boss costume that OM president Frank McCourt made a big rant against social networks.
While Olympique de Marseille is going through a complicated period, marked by a new defeat in Ligue 1 against Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday evening (1-0), the Marseille boss, Frank McCourt, is remaining discreet. It must be said that the American businessman is also involved in other projects, like Project Liberty, which humbly aims to revolutionize the Internet, by decentralizing and protecting Internet users’ data.
It is therefore in the role of boss of Project Liberty that Frank McCourt took the floor to denounce the actions of large groups owning social networks such as Facebook. “Social media, even the internet, was not designed to be used the way it is used today, connecting billions of people”railed the president of OM at the microphone of the American channel NBC.
” Enough is enough ! »
And McCourt adds another layer: “Apps like Facebook do a lot of harm to society, they harm children. They undermine democracy. Enough is enough ! “, continued Frank McCourt. It remains to be seen whether he will succeed in reversing the trend and implementing his Liberty Project. The billionaire has injected more than $100 million of his personal fortune into this ambitious project.
