From Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook [1]:

> Good morning and new product announcement: this week we're starting to roll out Meta Verified -- a subscription service that lets you verify your account with a government ID, get a blue badge, get extra impersonation protection against accounts claiming to be you, and get direct access to customer support. This new feature is about increasing authenticity and security across our services. Meta Verified starts at $11.99 / month on web or $14.99 / month on iOS. We'll be rolling out in Australia and New Zealand this week and more countries soon.

"It's free and it always will be" disappeared back in 2019.
It's different from Twitter. For one thing, it isn't replacing actual verification with the ability to buy a fake identity, as occurred at Twitter.
There is nothing that could possibly convince me to subscribe to anything that Zuc offers.
