A paid verification service has started to be rolled out in the UK by Facebook’s parent firm Meta. Users of Facebook and Instagram receive a blue tick from the service starting at £9.99 per month.
To be eligible, subscribers must be at least 18 years old and provide a valid government ID. In the US, Australia, and New Zealand, the feature is already accessible.
Those who have been accepted by Meta will receive a verified badge, which the tech company claims will provide them with additional protection against impersonation, in part because it will monitor their accounts to look for impersonators.
