Facebook to copy Twitter with its own paid-for blue check and verification service in Thailand

[webfact]

Mark Zuckerberg’s Instagram is competing with Twitter with its new Threads app, available in Thailand for Instagram users through Android and Apple apps. However, he is also copying Twitter with Facebook’s blue tick and premium monthly verification service coming soon.

New Facebook verification service and blue tick will be quite similar to Twitter’s but Mark Zuckerberg is promising personal support at the end of the line for a new cadre of elite customers.

Facebook, as well as its new Threads micro-blogging app, is preparing to mimic Elon Musk’s Twitter with its blue tick and paid-for verification service worldwide with it being rolled out for its legion Thai user base in the coming weeks.

As Facebook launches its new app Threads Worldwide with the new app available in Google Stores for Android and the Apple App stores, users should note that it is only available with an Instagram account at this point.

That's a good news. Non verified users will be degraded. End to anonymity and fake accounts. The long awaited feature.

 

According to some sources, more than 40% of user accounts on Facebook are fake!

I may be wrong, but I think users pay for this, the great majority will continue to be able to troll under aliases. 

The quality on here would vastly improve if ID verification was required. 

I think it's coming worldwide soon anyway. 

 

That may truly suck, but thank the users who are the worst abusers.
