Following Twitter's decision to make the famous blue verification check mark a purchasable item, which caused complete chaos on the platform for a while, Meta seems to be thinking the same.
The Twitter Blue approach of charging people for verification may be in the works at Facebook and Instagram as well.
TechDroider has posted a few screenshots from what appears to be a Meta help centre page.
They mention a Meta Verified subscription, similar to Twitter Blue, for which users can earn a verification badge for their profile by subscribing.
The blue check from Meta Verified will be redeemable for profiles only, according to the information on the page.
Surprisingly, clicking the link for “eligibility criteria for Meta Verified subscriptions” on the same page leads to a broken page.
This could be due to the page being unavailable in our region — or failing to be set up in the first place.
