Meta announces the launch of the free "Facebook Verified" service, allowing users to obtain a checkmark badge after verifying their identity by recording a video selfie. This feature is available to personal accounts aged 18 and above that comply with Community Standards and have no fraudulent behavior, aiming to ensure that the account belongs to a real user rather than an AI-generated fake account. The badge will be rolled out in phases, with plans to expand to global markets in the future. Previously, Meta has provided blue badge verification through paid subscriptions; the launch of this free badge marks a significant adjustment in its identity verification strategy.
