The TikTokification of Facebook

Listen Later

Last week, Facebook’s parent company, Meta, announced major changes to its app. Instead of the Facebook feed we’re all used to -- with posts from friends and family -- the app will look a lot more like TikTok. As Axios’ Scott Rosenberg writes, this marks the end of almost two decades of social networking as we knew it.

  • Plus: Pope Francis makes a historic apology to the Indigenous people of Canada.
  • And: civilian defense training in Taiwan, as tensions with China grow.

    • Guests: Axios' Scott Rosenberg and Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian.
