Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) shares fell more than 3% on Friday even as CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company's verified monthly subscription service would roll out in the U.S. on Friday.
Zuckerberg's announcement will see Meta (META) begin to allow domestic users to verify their accounts using a government ID. The monthly subscription, announced last month, was first available in Australia and New Zealand.

A Meta (META) spokesperson previously said the service is largely targeted at content creators, allowing them to expand their communities by offering a verification badge and account support.
A Meta spokesperson told Seeking Alpha via email that it was removing increased reach for a period of time as it continues to gather feedback and evolve the product after the initial runs in Australia and New Zealand.
Prices for the subscription service start at $11.99 per month on the web and $14.99 per month on iOS and Android.
Last month, Bank of America said it was "intrigued" by Meta's (META) decision to launch a subscription service, suggesting it could have as many as 12M paying subscribers by the end of 2023 or early 2024.
