EU just slapped a major social platform with fines over their blue badge system. Wild, right?



Their reasoning? The $8/month verification requires credit card details — name, billing address, the works. Regulators claim this creates identity verification issues.

Makes you wonder: is this about user protection or control over digital identity systems? The line keeps getting blurrier.

The EU just loves to meddle, interfering in everything... But honestly, this time it seems to make some sense? Replacing ID documents with a blue checkmark is indeed absurd.

Are you still doing the identity verification routine? I really don't understand what these regulatory authorities are thinking...

The EU's recent move is incredible. Who are they trying to regulate next? It just never ends.

Speaking of this $8 certification, it's really outrageous. I support the EU's recent fines. Collecting so much private information just for a blue checkmark is truly a bit excessive.

Nah, now EU is really getting a bit boring. What's the point of arguing over a blue check worth 8 bucks?

NGL, this is just an excuse for regulatory authorities to control the narrative. The real issue has never been about that $8...

Hey, about this, the EU just loves to meddle, but on the other hand... verifying with 8 bucks requires a full set of identity information? That's really a bit outrageous.
