Short summary by @reko:
Author @tarazkp writes that Meta has introduced a fee for verification on Facebook and Instagram. The change is largely targeted at content creators who use the platforms to make a living. This is an admission of failure to be able to adequately police the platform, something that has been brought into the light more over the last few years. The meta is changing in regard to the digital economy, as it shifts from the centralized platforms having full control to there being more user-driven options. The future is in the move away from the centralized platforms that dictate to users into the decentralized playgrounds that can be leveraged to support anyone.
