I don't want to sound like I'm defending Meta, but at least there's something behind this verification.
On Twitter, there's just so many face-less spam troll accounts that are verified, and all a blue check means is that the person likes Elon enough to give him $8. At least Facebook requires a government ID, and the verification confirms that the person is who they say they are.
(I do think if they really cared, especially in the face of looming AI advancements, this would be free. This only really works if most real people are verified, otherwise there's nothing suspicious about a non-verified account.)

But Facebook has already required this for years to run advertisements. So they're now charging for the thing that they were previously doing for everyone for free, making the site less safe and secure.

I used it to successfully confirm to a website that I was over 18. I'm pretty sure that method is still viable today

- grepfru_it 4y agoWhich services that Facebook offer would that be?
