How very original of them.
Unbelievable. They have nothing left
Well…🤣

Disgusting
Is this a joke..?! 😅
not a good trend
WTF 😂🤣😂
They literally want us to to PAY them AND give them our data.
🤡👍
Here’s The Verge’s article on it.
TLDR: 🤡 🌎
https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/19/23606268/meta-instagram-facebook-test-paid-verification
So you doxx yourself and give Zuckerberg $12 a month. 😆
“You’re going to give us even more data and pay $14.99 for it”
Yep, Elon do it, so Mark do it too 🤷♂️
I love this note on so many levels
Aha nice. I think I should get back to setting Facebook. Sounds safe. 😆
Oh! If we get direct access to customer support, how can one say no?
Oh wait we're all customer support here and for free, or not if we do choose! ⚡⚡
PV!! 🤙💜
No thanks faithful kiwi
Starts as a paid feature and then becomes mandatory 🔮
Genuinely curious how Nostr solves the impersonation issue. Seems like an intractable issue for any fully open online forum
You can cryptographically prove ownership, that’s the base over here. With that you can verify your identity by linking it to a domain you control via NIP05 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/05.md
In the end the whole system here is math based, over there it’s build on top of authority.
Payed relays also give scamming and impersonating a cost, so there is less financial incentive to do it.
But what visual cue in Nostr let’s me know that I’m viewing the actual profile of say, Jack Dorsey, vs another profile that has the exact same @ and profile pic..
It’s the public key, npub1gh4z9pyza2g9y87xte7nzkgwhe3xtwt9g7rannvfec4s9vl5vlwqseq4nu in your case, which is unique and can cryptographically be signed and trusted, not the @user.
Right, but if there are two profiles, one is the real person and one is an impersonator.. how do I know which one is legit? Im just saying by looking and comparing at the two profiles.. the key doesn’t matter because I don’t know which account to trust. Does that make sense?
The eve impersonator can’t sign messages with the private key of the public key which belongs to @jacks profile. On some profiles you see the purple NIP05 checkmark, which would be another indicator.
For example if I own joern.com I could link the public key of this @joern username to joern@joern.com. To do so I need access to the configuration of that domain. Fraudsters can’t do that too.
#[2]
for example linked his pubkey to cash.app by placing this to the cash app domain https://cash.app/.well-known/nostr.json?name=jack
Got it! So linking to a website is a form of verification. Are there other ways to signal that you’re the real person besides linking to a site?
You can upload a selfie with your pubkey written down on a piece of paper or link your key on your other social media accounts like twitter, instagram or whatever
Is that a new paradigm shift in this web3 world… the burden to prove authenticity is on the user?
No, ideally the clients do it for you and give you the hints. It’s like https and the green lock in your browsers address bar. Back then it was just a lock, then warnings became more sophisticated. It’s just a matter of time until it will get build into the clients here but fundamentally it’s the same cryptographically verifiable trust relation.
Also, what’s stopping Facebook from just assigning/exposing a public key for every user? In that scenario, Jack could just link that key to the cash.app site as well to prove his identity
why like
Oh my gawd!!! 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😅😅

How are you @note like a quote tweet?!
Ridiculous
We’ve got Nostr so you can GFY Zuck.
They need fiat for their company to stay afloat
There couldn’t be a better time for Verified Human on Nostr. The name is tongue in cheek, but the spam fighting potential is there. Please check it out if you get a chance Preston.

Really? This guy is a riot.
Course they start with NZ & Australia 🤡🤡🤡
In bed together. Happy Forever. How is this a product or feature ? 🤣 shameless
We are quickly moving from a freemium model to a pay-to-play model.
While it makes sense in a creator lead economy where jobs are being cut in mass.
It will be interesting to see how it plays out while prices of everything else are inflated to a point where it puts a dent in the availability of discretionary funds.
Let’s see how long before they figure no one will pay that. Nostr is 100 times better and tackles the same problem
Is revenue that bad?
Is it April fools day??
Not surprising the Aussies and Kiwi’s are the first to run with opened arms deeper in this dystopian government nightmare.
They better price it really low because old people are really being hammered by inflation right now.
Sign of the times. Don’t think this will be well adopted; different animal than twitter.
The more pressure on your freedom, the more you value it. The amount of people that will be pushed into decentralized solutions will increase with every new act.
🤦♂️
😂
#[2] new character alert 🚨😂
I mean. Do whatcha please... but I'm not about this. At all.
#freedom #decentralized #networks
Seriously?! 😳
Looks like a troll 😆
Meanwhile in 🤡world...
🤡
So this is basically an 150$ donation to be extra tracked by the govt?? Lol
Makes me wonder if he is asking IDs for a friend in Washington DC or Cambridge Analytica...
This is too comical. And people will think that just because they are “paying” now that it means they are not the product. They still are 🤣
This ain’t it 🍆
Sometimes 🤡🌎 is quite funny
Feeling tempted to subscribe for a month just to get a chance to actually talk to customer support and tell them how much I fucking despise them 🤔 ... but on the other hand it was easy enough to create a fake account to regain access to the Marketplace, the only thing I unfortunately need to use once in a while...
They're rolling it out in OZ and NZ due to being smaller markets and quicker response analysis.
Yikes
LMAO 🤣
This reads like a meme 😂
FB always pioneering in KYC
Digital ID? 🤣
this is ridiculous - especially when you pay for it lol 🤣
How ridiculous this sounds...
Oof 👀
Read the room meta
This is good for nostr
I thought that was fake for a moment. But judging from the comments here, apparently it is real. Haha. Being verified the Nostr way is so much better.
Oh, my...what could possibly go wrong...Meta will start asking for DNA samples next when this fails????
🤦🏻♂️
Take a moment to read just what a complete nothing burger your $11.99 a month buys.
You get… nothing.
Subscription model at its worst. This will not fly.
Five Eyes / Aukus always in your pocket, 15 bucks please
Looks like it's catching on.
Also, you have DMs with mark?
🤡
Been off FB for around 7 years, 3 years off IG … so
This is unreal what an A1 class clown
I remember when the Facebook main page proudly stated that it’s free and will always be free. I think was in response to rumors that they would be charging for extra features years ago.
My how things have changed
Pay with your data AND pay with your wallet.
Weak🤣
They should be paying users to stick around with an ask like that 😆
Gotta get right on that… 😂
fiat downcycling behavior
The Nostr way to tackle the challenge of Authenticity + Anonymity + Autonomy:
Could be worth a shot 🤷♂️
Or we can all just join Nostr using the Damus App and all of that is free and built in to the protocol. Not to mention, your data is yours and anyone who wants it has to pay for it. Sorry Mark Zuckerberg, you and Elon are about to get schooled on how to run a decentralized social media platform. Buh bye….
Wow. So true. Let’s teach them the power of decentralization..
Are you going to give him a hard time next time you guys play handball or something? 😉
and someone asks for freedom lolz. as if its a product to be bought on a tele-market show. :|
Aaaand this is why open protocols win. 🌐
Let me fix this for Mark...📝 Yeah, that sounds honest now 😉
Well, well, well, look what we have here. We're thrilled to announce the launch of Meta Verified - a subscription service that requires you to surrender your government ID, so we can keep an eye on your every move and activity. And in return for your compliance, you'll receive a fancy blue badge, protection against impersonators (because we know there are so many people out there dying to be you), and premium access to our customer support team. Because let's face it, who wouldn't want to pay us for the privilege of being tracked and monitored 24/7? This new feature is not just about increasing security, it's also about us having complete control over your data and actions. Meta Verified starts at a low, low price of $11.99 / month on web or $14.99 / month on iOS. And don't worry, we'll be rolling this out in Australia and New Zealand first, and then expanding our reach to other countries. So, what are you waiting for? Sign up now and let us start watching you!
Fixed 🤓
#[3]
The funniest (or saddest?) part is the initial rollout in Australia. Seems like the Aussies are the Guinea pigs for a lot these days.
LMAO! 😂
That’s honestly hilarious.
$14.99/mo on iOS 😂
Assuming that is 11.99 AUD quoted, the USD equivalent is ~8.25.
Fabulous intelligence test for anyone who signs up!
WTF ZUCK! 🤡

lmfao reads like an april fools joke
I had a feeling when Elon first announced the $8 thing that it would go downhill fast. I'm not paying that clown. But I did pay some sats for a Nostr relay. Lesson in there for the old guard.
TradSocialMedia in shambles
Lol
🤡 What a joke!
this has major YELP bad review extortion vibes
What a LOSER!
Awesome. Who wouldnt want to pay to have their social media linked to their government ID? Seems appropriate for Australia and NZ. Govt fuckers will probably mandata it
LOL
Of course it's in AU/NZ first lol, nanny States
Almost insane how oblivious they are
They’ve officially run out of ideas. 😄
🤮it’s almost a joke like “look how good you have it now”
Your post is getting a lot of views.
Added to the https://member.cash/hot feed
What a 🤡
Reading this post makes me feel the way I do when I see broadcast TV—like I'm looking at a relic of the past
They’re going to charge the users to KYC themselves?
Pretty sure that's USD, so $17.45 on the web, and $21.82 per month on iOS/Android, as reported by Aust news outlets. I'm surprised it's not compulsory, and you have to pay to opt-out, who would pay to opt-in for extra surveillance 🤦♂️
This needs second laughing emoji 🤣🤣
Not sure if boomers are going to pay that to verify that the person they are chatting with on Facebook was actually their high school hookups…
🤯🫥🙃
That’s honestly hilarious
No one uses Facebook, at least in China, ordinary people don't use Facebook, this product is too rubbish.
The CCP Information Management Bureau issued an announcement in 2020. It is said that there are 33 million ordinary users in mainland China who Over The Wall and use Twitter, and only 5 million people register to use Facebook.
The 5 million ordinary users of Facebook are used by people who sell goods and sell pornography (doing pornographic prostitution). The quality of Facebook's user base is too poor. Can't compare to Twitter users. Chinese users who use Twitter are all for freedom and human rights.
Therefore, CCP looks down on Facebook, and CCP is afraid of Twitter, which has great influence in mainland China. so,the police specialize in arresting Twitter users.
My goodness! All life-negating stuff.
This membership fee is also a way to learn from Musk's Twitter.

This is the only valid response 🤣
Nigga you can’t recap after locking people out of their account and making them show their ID anyway???
Is he joking?? LOL... thats why we have DID...
LOL
Rolling out in NZ and AUS first says it all 🤣🤣🤣
Oooooo… Sign me up! Can I pay in Libra?
Lol!!! So... this is what desperation looks like? 🤣🤦♂️
my wife and I both deleted fb but she signed up to the fb marketplace to buy and sell
