Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has announced that users will now pay to use verified Facebook handles.
If you are in Kenya, it will cost you more than Ksh.1,300 in a month.
The same services will be extended to Instagram which fall under the parent company, Meta.
This announcement was made by the founder Mark on 20th February 2023.
Good morning and new product announcement: this week we’re starting to roll out Meta Verified — a subscription service that lets you verify your account with a government ID, get a blue badge, get extra impersonation protection against accounts claiming to be you, and get direct access to customer support. This new feature is about increasing authenticity and security across our services. Meta Verified starts at $11.99 / month on web or $14.99 / month on iOS. We’ll be rolling out in Australia and New Zealand this week and more countries soon.
