Meta Platforms announced on Sunday that it is testing a monthly subscription service, called Meta Verified, which will let users verify their accounts using a government ID and get a blue badge.

The subscription bundle for Instagram and Facebook, to be launched later this week, also includes extra protection against impersonation and will be priced starting at $11.99 per month on the web or $14.99 a month on Apple’s iOS system and Android.

Meta Verified will be rolled out in Australia and New Zealand this week, with gradual launches in other countries to follow. Meta’s foray into subscription services follows Twitter, which announced last month that Twitter Blue will be priced at $11 per month. Other social media apps, like Snap Inc’s Snapchat and messaging app Telegram launched paid subscription services last year, as a new source of revenue.

Nonsense doesn't sound right...

It sounds like a deal 🤝

Face book was supposed to be free for ever. Another broken promises from the ultra rich that have absolutely no other values than getting more. Even Bill Gates, under proselytism, is making more money.

Copycat much? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 elonmusk
