Facebook And Instagram Subscribers to Pay Ksh. 1500 Monthly for Blue Verification Badge

Facebook and Instagram users have today woken up with the news that it’ll only cost them ksh. 1500 every month in order to be verified and given blue badge identity.

The blue badge identity, oftentimes helps in knowing the official pages and actual persons’ profile accounts. This in the other hand, helps in reducing rate of fraudulent activities over the social media as well as enhancing cyber security.

The news comes after Zuckerberg’s company announced that it will henceforth start to implement the Twitter-like strategy of charging a subscription fee for verification.

This would mean that for one’s account to be verified on the web, he/she will be asked to settle down a fee of ksh. 1500 monthly on Apple’s iOS.

On the other hand, Android will cost ksh 1900.

Since the invention of both Facebook and Instagram, a lot of people have been finding it easy communicating and connecting with friends and families.

Content sharing on the other hand, has risen up the clouds enabling quick spread of new information.

Nonetheless, majority have found the platforms a business table and have been monetizing thereby raising their standards of living.

For the category of millions of people who finds both Instagram and Facebook the only oxygen to breath, it arguably won’t cost them any harm to grab the badge.
