Summary

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. Credits: Axios Today is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Alexandra Botti, Nuria Marquez Martinez, Lydia McMullen-Laird, Alex Sugiura, and Ben O'Brien. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
