“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.
Apple costs more because Meta is paying Apple, then Apple advertises on facebook , and they all get to track everything you do. Great team work.
It's like the airline baggage fees. But baggage is necessary and it worked. This crap ( like Twitter) would bring them nothing
Nobodies gonna buy that
Not going to pay for either one.
Nope
What a RIP off
Dawnsfire What if you use both? This is insane, I will pay them exactly what I pay them now, zero.
Why they don’t reduce their salaries? It’s easy is simple… for me meta Facebook and Instagram are dead…..
That’s crazy…. Simply for me I will never user I have to pay any penny….
I can't believe Jon Lemon's remark about women in their prime! Are u kidding me? Does this guy know the difference between political prime n childbearing prime NO HE DOESN'T N Should be fired or U will lose me as a woman who watches CNN!
Who in their right mind would pay Meta just so they can get banned after posting a meme? They also need to stop ripping off ideas from every other social media site
Fuck that. I'm not paying a social media site a damn dime.
So the same thing Twitter did......seems Musk is trendsetter
They are copy cats
That’s fine. We can all survive without using them or this like of garbage called Twitter
It's almost like the 'genius billionaire inventors' are really just leveraging other people's ideas and creations for profit.
Nope. Not gonna pay them either.
You’ve to pay for guaranteed security ! Indirectly
“IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY, THEN YOU CAN BE A REAL PERSON.” Meta
I’m old enough to remember when this business model was deemed to be the end of a certain social media site that I am ironically reading this article on.
What an original idea...glad Elon Musk thought it up..
firedonlemon
Why would I pay? I already know who I am!
Hey Meta - Does this mean that you will no longer take data/ content we create and sell it? If so I might try Facebook again. If not, forget it. I want privacy and I’m willing to pay a fee to get it.
Oh wow, they'll allow people to pay them, what incredible generosity
Too late. Verification now means NOTHING due to Mr. Tusk.
Nope, you're still _______ _______ 😁
Twitter also just yesterday implemented, if your not a subscriber, you have to turn off your 2nd factor authentication. The first time you login after turning it off, it tries to sell you the subscription saying you don't have 2factor turned on.
The way Mark copies so much, I'm starting to believe that Facebook movie
Wonder if it will do better than CNN+.... 🤣🤣🤣
PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE UNITED STATES DESTROYING THE NORD STREAM PIPELINE
The United States committed a terror crime. The United States government is an international terrorist group
What a stupid f-ing idea. This is what happens when you employ 10,000s of people you don't need. They go to meeting after meeting trying to cook up ways to fuck users to pay their bloated salaries and remain employed
Social media is imploding
Losers paying to verify satire pages..
Not buying.
I guess they wanna fast track their defunctness
No way 😳
Why do I feel like I’m reliving the end of Napster?
No thanks.
How original.
$Pi and $Core would be a nice options too.
Oh look,....it's Meta
Wrong step
The end is near. 💀
