“Meta Verified” will start at $11.99 a month on the web or $14.99 a month on iOS, and the company will begin releasing it in Australia and New Zealand this week and “more countries soon.” The service also comes with other perks: extra protection from impersonation accounts and direct access to customer support. To avoid fake accounts, customers who want to get the blue badge would need to provide a government ID which matches their profile name and picture.
” “We are evolving the meaning of the blue badge to focus on authenticity so we can expand verification access to more people,” a Meta spokesperson said. “We will display follower count in more places so people can distinguish which accounts are notable public figures among accounts that share the same name.” Meta joins other platforms, like Discord, Reddit and YouTube, who have their own subscription-based models.
Sooooooo......essentially they are Twittering Facebook and Instagram
no thanks. i have a tv
adzo72 That’s me done with Facebook
Smh, flattery for Elon I guess.
So they are copying Twitter? But without coming clean and honest, stopping the political banning and shadowbanning? People are leaving Facebook. Why would we pay to be spied on, forced to only read liberal propaganda and fearmongering, unable to see posts by friend? Eh no.
Can those who are on Facebook tell us, what do you actually do there in this day and age
Like he doesn’t have enough money already
Wow. And here I thought Zuck was at least *marginally* more intelligent than smooth-brain Elmo. Guess I was wrong.
Who still uses Facebook and Insta though? Let it die
Zuckerberg van verify deze nuts
Everyone needs to vote Loud and vote Hard in 2024 and get the Democrats out so we can start the healing process that this country so desperately needs.
And everyone laughed at Elon

🤮
😂🤣😂
Nope not paying
If these apps are going to be paid for in the future, I don't think I'll hesitate to ditch them!
Well that’s a first 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
and then there were none...
Good I hope people finally give up on Facebook.
Sorry I’m not an idiot…. All Facebook is, is just advertising…. I’m not going to pay $11.99 per month to say I am who I say I am. Bet they will want your drivers license or social insurance number to prove it… just more of your credentials …..being harvested
The collapse of social media. Finally.
Pay to not be a fake lol…. WTF … so many reasons to just delete these garbage apps
Copycat. 😂😂
Lol, sounds familiar! But you’ll buy into because it’s Zuck
Why would I let Meta verify me?
I knew they'll copy paste ELON 👏⚡✨🔌
Hey elonmusk, maybe buy Rumble and Substack and do the same thing!
That awkward moment when elonmusk goes from target of ridicule, to pioneer influencing the other tech giants.
I, for one, fully support and am excited for the rapid collapse of social media networks.

You can keep your verification, Mark.
Lol A subscription to what, endless dystopian memes? You couldn’t pay me to use fakebook
'But Elon is killing Twitter!!!' they said. Now everyone's copying Twitter.
I ain't paying shit! Pay me for using your platform. You all already rich! Damn!
when elonmusk announced doing that, cnn and other mainstream news critically reported on it, even with nastiness and toxicity. when fb does it, cnn reports on it in a neutral way like it’s a business decision and nothing else. oh, even with glee, actually.
Does anyone care about being verified if you can just pay for it? Makes it worthless
No thx
I feel like I’ve seen this strategy before🤨😂. elonmusk
L
Everyone is trying to suck every nickel and dime out of us, this sucks and I will disable my account if this comes to be
Looks like the privacy laws are finally getting to these guys and affecting how they earn from user data.
Sounds like Twitter elonmusk 🤣
They sell your data and now they want people to pay for it? As they say, a sucker is born every minute.
Mark has nothing original. Duplicates Apple, Snapchat and now Twitter. Get your own ideas Mark!
I wonder where they got that idea from?
