Our Facebook chain status-sharing aunties tried to warn us but we didn’t listen. Meta is going to start charging to use its platform — at least for some users.
Facebook and Instagram users can now pay US$11.99 each month to have their accounts verified as part of a trial launched in Australia and New Zealand. This provides a few benefits: the all-important verified “badge” (icon) next to an account name, improved customer support and security, a boost to an account’s algorithmic reach, and some undisclosed “exclusive features to express yourself in unique ways”, whatever that means.
Crikey is committed to hosting lively discussions. Help us keep the conversation useful, interesting and welcoming. We aim to publish comments quickly in the interest of promoting robust conversation, but we’re a small team and we deploy filters to protect against legal risk. Occasionally your comment may be held up while we review, but we’re working as fast as we can to keep the conversation rolling.
