Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is set to launch a “verified” subscription service for users of the two popular social media platforms.
Subscriptions will be $11.99 a month for users who subscribed through a web browser and $14.99 a month for users who subscribed through Apple Inc’s iOS system, Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a post on Instagram.
Zuckerberg said the purpose of the “Meta Verified” initiative is to give users “protection against accounts impersonating them and direct access to customer service.”
Users who want to obtain the blue badge will have to provide a government ID that matches their profile name and pictures on their account.
