The TikTokification of Facebook
Jul 26, 2022•11 min
Episode description
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.
