Facebook and Instagram to Sell Green Badges Soon
1. What is the Green Badge? Benefits of the Green Badge on Facebook and Instagram
The Green Badge, provided by Meta, serves to authenticate accounts, proving the legitimacy of individuals, influencers, or brands that impact the community. Additionally, the green checkmark helps distinguish genuine accounts from impersonations.

Accounts and Fan Pages with the green badge won't necessarily bring in more money; their primary purpose is to confirm credibility. However, from a business and advertising perspective, accounts and fan pages with the green badge offer various advantages:
- Build greater trust within the community, enhancing the credibility of buying, selling, or advertising activities.
- Minimizing Fan Page Mortality Rate
- Restricting intentional impersonation attempts, with the ability to report and reverse false reports to lock fraudulent accounts.
2. Meta's Information on Selling Green Badges on Facebook and Instagram
In a recent post on Mark Zuckerberg's personal page on 19/02, Meta's CEO revealed that the company is gearing up to launch a service for selling verified badges for account authentication on both Facebook and Instagram. The service will first debut in Australia and New Zealand before expanding to other countries.

This new feature is called Meta Verified, offering a registration service for users to verify their accounts with personal documents and receive the green badge. Alongside enhancing authenticity, this feature will fortify identity protection against impersonation accounts.
According to the post, the billionaire revealed that the service will have two payment methods, including $11.99/month for web payments and $14.99/month for payments on Android phones like OPPO, Samsung, Xiaomi, or iPhones.
Details on Meta's Sale of Green Badges for Facebook and Instagram
This new feature is currently only available for individual and professional accounts that meet the platform's requirements. As for business accounts, they are currently unable to register for this service.
Meta's decision to introduce the Facebook and Instagram green badge service becomes quite concerning in the current social media landscape. In late 2022, billionaire Elon Musk launched a service to buy green badges for Twitter at a price range of 8-11 USD/month. However, this service turned into a 'disaster' as many impersonation accounts purchased green badges to spread false and harmful information, negatively impacting the community.
According to various sources, Meta's CEO, when introducing the service, provided information that this is a service to help users authenticate their accounts with a national ID. Therefore, it will provide better protection against accounts purchasing fake green badges. This helps users feel more at ease and builds significant trust within the community.
Fee for Purchasing Green Badges on Facebook and Instagram
Additionally, on Meta's help center, it is mentioned that it will bring more security benefits to your green badge accounts. Individuals and professional accounts will enjoy advantages such as monitoring impersonation, prioritized comments, and labeling with Instagram stories.
Before the implementation of fees, green badges on Facebook and Instagram were provided for free to eligible accounts. Currently, Mark Zuckerberg has no specific plans for the deployment of this service in Vietnam. However, in the near future, green badge accounts in Vietnam may be required to pay for usage.
Meta's decision to sell green badges on Facebook and Instagram is a hot topic drawing attention from users of devices like OPPO Find N2 Flip and others. To stay updated on when this service will be launched in Vietnam, follow Siêu Thị Mytour for the latest information!
