Shocking Allegations Rock Meta: Is the Social Media Giant Turning a Blind Eye to Human Trafficking Profits?
In reality, the Verified Standard represents Meta further capitalizing on user naivety, and raking in additional revenue under the guise of user protection. For example, D.c. Eastman, an investment professional, posted this on Facebook:
So, while Facebook is profiting from criminals who are impersonating real professionals and U.S. companies (trademark infringement abounds on Facebook!), Facebook now wants those real professionals and honest, U.S.-based companies to PAY FACEBOOK to be VERIFIED!
For just $14.99 per month, or $179.88 per year, Facebook users get nothing more than a second fleecing of their hard-earned money. With over 3 billion users, let’s assume that just 20% buy the Meta Verified Standard for “protection.” The revenue to Meta would be staggering. That very conservative estimate translates into $107,928,000,000 in revenue for Meta. Yes, that’s billions! Meta Platforms, Inc. is NOT looking out for you. The Verified Standard is little more than “code” for dirty revenue – and is as worthless as a Trustpilot or Clutch review!
