Mark Z announced they are releasing a pulot project that will allow users on Facebook and Instagram to pay $12/mon ($16 on mobile) to have the blue verified checkmark on their name.
Users will have to submit gov id in order to be verified and will get access to a couple of perks including customer support.
Whether that customer support is limited to personal profiles or if it will extend to advertisers profile as well is unclear.
One thing is for sure, Mark is having a hard time innovating!
This is coming on the heels of Elon launching the subscription for Twitter Blue. It is kind of surprising that Mark jumped on this as Elon has received a lot of negative press for making this decision.
Will you get Facebook/Instagram verified?
