And it is announced that it will be launched in other countries and regions in succession.

For the new "Meta Verified" authentication subscription system that users can share on both Facebook and IG accounts, the fee for the web version is $11.99 per month (approximately NT$365).

In addition, the "Meta Verified" identity verification subscription system can also be applied for on Android and iOS mobile phone versions, but the fee is slightly more expensive by US$3. The mobile version of the "Meta Verified" identity verification subscription fee is US$14.99 (about NT$456) .

Mark Zuckerberg said that the newly launched "Meta Verified" identity authentication subscription-based paid service is dedicated to strengthening the authenticity and security of user accounts, so as to curb the misconduct of blocking accounts from impersonation.

Meta also promises to provide subscribers with active monitoring for account impersonation.

Regarding the new "Meta Verified" identity authentication subscription system, in addition to using the "blue tick" as the identification of the user's real identity, according to Meta's official description, it is necessary to meet some qualification conditions and pass a series of checks, including:

1. It is only applicable to users who are 18 years old or above and must use their real names in their personal information.

2. Users need to provide relevant identification documents for personal data filled in Facebook or Instagram account.

Example: Government-issued identification documents.

And all verified subscribers and their content must comply with the terms of use formulated by Meta for the social platform and abide by the community guidelines.

3. Once the "Meta Verified" identity verification is passed and the verification is successful, the user will not be able to change the registered name, user name, date of birth and photo in their personal information.

If you need to change the information, you need to apply for the Meta Verified subscription and verification application process again.

By the way, the cost of the new "Meta Verified" identity authentication subscription system is about $4 more expensive than the blue tick identity authentication that Twitter has implemented for more than three months.

The Twitter version of the "Twitter Blue" subscription service is $8 (about NT$243).

If you download the mobile version of the mobile version of the Twitter application app through the iOS system and Android system, and add the subscription service fee for upgrading to Twitter Blue, it will cost US$11 (approximately NT$334).
