"Facebook is currently running what it describes as a "limited test" in which users would be required to pay a subscription fee to Meta Verified in order to share more than two external links in a month. According to a report from The Guardian, Facebook began informing some users earlier this month that a Meta Verified subscription would be required in order to share more than two external links on Facebook."
"Meta Verified is a subscription service designed for creators that gives users a blue checkmark, proving their account's authenticity. It also gives users plus perks like proactive impersonation protection, direct human support, and increased visibility. The subscription is similar to verification on X, which grants users special features and increased visibility. The subscription service begins at $11.99 per month. So effectively, Facebook would be charging a $11.99 fee for users to be able to share more than one link per month."
Facebook is running a limited test that would require a Meta Verified subscription to share more than two external links per month from certain profiles. Some users received messages stating profiles without Meta Verified will be limited to two organic posts monthly and that subscribing unlocks additional link sharing, a verified badge, and benefits. Meta Verified provides a blue checkmark, impersonation protection, human support, and increased visibility, and the subscription starts at $11.99 per month. Restricting link sharing will frustrate users and reduce referral traffic, posing significant harm to news publishers that rely on Facebook distribution.
