In 2021, McCourt announced $100 million funding for a non-profit initiative called Project Liberty, with the intention to "construct a new internet infrastructure." The investment first went into funding the development of Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP), which is an open source code that developers can use to build social apps and services. It also included the founding of a "digital governance" institution called McCourt Institute at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and Sciences Po in Paris, to support research on "technology that serves the common good" and public discussions that aim to "influence the direction taken by technology and its players," according to McCourt in an interview with Usbek & Rica. The effort has a multi-track approach, beyond the focus on technology in the beginning; it is building on other components including governance, policy, and movement. In 2022, McCourt appointed Martina Larkin as Project Liberty's first CEO. Technology Unfinished Labs / DSNP McCourt founded Unfinished, and Unfinished Labs, its technology research and development arm, in 2020. The first project of Unfinished Labs — the introduction of the open-source Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP) — became the foundation of Project Liberty. MeWe, a free and subscription-based social media platform that bills itself as a privacy-focused Facebook alternative, became the first platform to pledge support by migrating its platform to DSNP in September 2022. McCourt Institute In June 2021, Frank McCourt announced the creation of the McCourt Institute as the newest branch of Unfinished. The two foundational partners of the institute are Georgetown University in Washington, DC, and Sciences Po in Paris. The McCourt Institute building was unveiled at Sciences Po in March 2022, on the occasion of the university's 50th anniversary. At the McCourt Institute's inaugural event on Sciences Po's campus, McCourt announced the funding of $2.3 million to Georgetown and Sciences Po faculty to select grantees, furthering scholarship from Georgetown specialists in digital governance. Georgetown later announced the 2022 recipients of grantees, including 28 researchers and 17 projects. The McCourt Institute also provided funding for Frances Haugen's nonprofit, Beyond the Screen, as Haugen announced at Unfinished Live 2022. Haugen received funding from Project Liberty for a "Duty of Care" initiative, aimed at studying harms and identifying practices to deter them.
