Would you pay $20 a month for Facebook and Instagram verification?

Facebook and Instagram users can now pay for their blue verified tick. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced last week what’s called the Meta Verification subscription bundle. It will enable users to increase their security and reach. The new subscription model is only available in Australia and New Zealand and Meta will monitor the take-up and popularity of the new model before rolling it out worldwide. Some people are saying social media is no longer free.

In this episode of The Briefing, we’re joined by CNET’s Clare Riley, who gives us her take on what this means for the future of these social platforms.

Headlines:

- Former minister takes responsibility for robodebt
- Death toll from Greek rail crash rises
- Sticky Fingers dropped from Bluesfest
- Aboriginal spears to be returned to Botany Bay
