Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has launched a subscription service called "Meta Verified" that allows users to receive the coveted blue tick on their Instagram and Facebook accounts for a monthly fee of up to $15. According to Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, the subscription service will be launched in New Zealand and Australia this week, and will soon be expanded to other countries. The move aims to expand Meta's revenue channels, which have been hit hard by Apple's privacy changes.
