After Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, his commercial activities on the social media platform received a great reaction. Now, Facebook, another popular social media platform, seems to follow in the footsteps of Twitter.
Facebook is following Twitter’s footsteps
According to a Twitter user’s post, Facebook is preparing a subscription fee under the name ‘Meta Verified’. In the message signed by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, it is stated that with the new subscription system, many advantages will be offered in addition to the blue badge.

Facebook charges $11.99 per month for web users in its new subscription service, while the amount required for iOS users will be $14.99. It has been announced that the subscription system, which will be used in Australia and New Zealand soon, will expand to other countries in the future.
In the message sent by Facebook to some of its users, the following statements are included:
Good morning, new product announcement: This week we’re launching Meta Verified, a subscription service that lets you verify your account with an ID card, get a blue badge, get extra protection against fake accounts that impersonate you, and access customer support directly. This new feature focuses on increasing authenticity and security across our services. Meta Verified will start at $11.99 for web users and $14.99 for iOS users. It will be available in Australia and New Zealand first, and we’ll be coming to more countries soon.
With this statement, we see that Facebook will switch to a subscription service just like Twitter Blue. It seems very likely that Facebook’s Meta Verified system will soon show itself on Instagram, another social media platform owned by the company.
We can say that a crisis similar to the ‘blue tick’ experienced in Twitter Blue can also be experienced in Facebook and Instagram. So what do you think about Facebook’s paid subscription service? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
