We start with some important business: Nilay has a flight to catch, and is very worried he won’t catch it. Also, it’s Apple’s 50th anniversary next week, and we’re going to spend the week debating which Apple products are the best Apple products. (Head to the ad-free Vergecast feed to hear our selection show!) But mostly, this episode is about social media. In two key trials this week, juries found social platforms liable not for the content they display but for the actual structure and features of the platform. That could change the way social media companies act, and how users fight back. After that, it’s time for the silliness of the router ban, the latest in the chatbot wars, and an update on what’s happening with Grammarly’s Expert Voices feature.
Help us rank Apple's 50 best products of all time:
