Mark Zuckerberg announces a plan to allow users to verify their accounts for up to $21.80 a month.
| Meta will launch a paid subscription service that allows Facebook and Instagram users to verify their accounts for up to $US14.99 a month, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg announced on Sunday .
Meta revenues have been hammered by privacy changes made by Apple in 2021 that restricted its ability to track users’ internet activity. Meta has been forced into major cost-cutting, including announcing its biggest headcount reductions – about 11,000 people, or 13 per cent of employees., which would allow users to verify their Twitter profiles for about $US8 a month, since he bought the platform for $US44 billion last year. The full rollout of Twitter Blue, which first launched in November, was postponed after it was abused by accounts that impersonated companies and celebrities.
They added that Meta Verified users would also get access to more features “to increase visibility and reach”, such as prominence in search and recommendations.
