Facebook to Limit Free Link Sharing, Introduces £11.99 Meta Verified Subscription

Facebook will start charging users to post links to the social network, limiting non-subscribers to two organic posts per month. The "Meta Verified" subscription will cost £11.99. News publishers are not required to pay, but the decision risks further curbing social media traffic to news sites. Smaller publishers, bloggers, and brands are already struggling to adapt to changes to Google's search tools. The move threatens to hit smaller publishers and influencers who cannot afford to pay for the subscription.
