Should you pay for Meta's and Twitter’s verified identity subscriptions?

I imagine Facebook will verify anything if it is paid to so. Why do I imagine this? Because it seems Facebook will do anything for money. Does anyone else think that any of the ads for products such as watches and medical products are for fakes or at least need honest verification? Does anyone else think that animal resvue videos are faked and Facebook takes no action? Does anyone have any trust in Facebook?

"...but now, with ad revenues slowing down..."

The reason ad revenues are slowing down is due to the platforms being destroyed with terrible design, leaders of the platform taking over the roles of the experts, and due to their algorithms keeping users from reaching the entire world.

I have stopped using some of these platforms due to their devastating destruction by the owners of them.

I would never pay a dime to use them. Not even a yen.

Nope I don’t even use stuff has anyone learned anything from Snowden?

LOL? The question should really be "Should you use Facebook blah blah", and the answer is also: No.

The other problem is how these moves to monetize security options increase online harms for vulnerable users without identity protection provisions.

Well, this seems to be precisely what the companies are aiming for, what better way to convince people to pay for something than showing them how those that don't do it have their accounts lost easily. It works for the Mob, it will work as well for Twitter and Meta.

Na na not a chance

Will Facebook and Twitter accept responsibility for "verified identity" if it is abused and used to scam people? By charging for that service they open themselves to litigation should a verified account turn out to be a fake. Although big corporations want to have their cake and eat it too, expecting to get away with charging money but taking zero responsibility.

If they can be held financially accountable for restitution for others losses as a result of their "verification" of an account, then perhaps it is not a complete waste for the general user.

They should pay users.

They create the content that sells advertising and the personal tracking information both sell.

Neither are brain surgery class platforms. A high school class can code the same platform, except for consolidating the information for the government to vacuum up. And the government (taxpayer money) pays them too for the data.

So, you pay taxes so the government can pay them to track you.

Thats a great deal. Almost as good as depositing your money in a bank, so they can maybe consider lending it back to you - at a profit.
