I am not sure what they’re smoking at Meta. Perhaps it’s the weed that Twitter is now peddling. But they’ve decided to offer their own subscription based verification system. The announcement was made by Mark Zuckerberg himself on Facebook. Here’s the details:
- This is coming to Instagram and Facebook
- Australia and New Zealand will get this first
- You get verify your account with a government ID
- You get a blue badge
- You get extra impersonation protection against accounts claiming to be you
- You get direct access to customer support.
- Meta Verified starts at $11.99 / month on web or $14.99 / month on iOS
All of this sounds so much more thought out versus the half baked verification system that Twitter came up with. Though they must have missed the part that Twitter has had almost zero traction with Twitter Blue. Thus I question how much success Meta will have with this. As always, Meta is free to prove me wrong on that front. And seeing as they’re still a public company, we’ll find out in the next few quarters how well this scheme does or doesn’t work.
