ET Now
Kangana Ranaut, the actress, has now tweeted about the new verification process that would be employed in Meta. She chastised Mark Zuckerberg for 'copying' the ideas of Twitter CEO Elon Musk. In her tweet, she called Elon Musk a ‘genius’.

The actress turned to Twitter on Monday, to react to a person who remarked that the actor was correct when she anticipated the new way of authentication that will be employed in the future. Kangana responded to Mark's recent announcement of 'Meta Verified,' a subscription-based programme that can assist Facebook users in obtaining a blue tick.

On Sunday, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled 'Meta Verified,' a subscription service that allows users to verify their account with a government ID, receive a 'blue tick,' get impersonation protection against fraudulent accounts and get direct access to customer support.


This new function aims to improve the platform's legitimacy and security. 'Meta Verified' is available at $11.99 per month on the web whereas at $14.99 per month on iOS. This provision will be implemented in Australia and New Zealand this week, with additional nations to follow soon. After Mark's statement, a Twitter user uploaded a copy of the article and stated that Kangana Ranaut had predicted the same in an earlier tweet.

To this, the actress replied by tweeting that Elon Musk fought with the whole world to achieve this, that the media ridiculed him and people threatened to abandon Twitter. She further said that he hasn't yet given out all features and that his ideas are so popular that people have already stolen and copied them.

In addition to Kangana, major characters will be played by Anupam Kher, Milind Soman, Mahima Chaudhry, Satish Kaushik, and Shreyas Talpade. The film is said to release on October 20, 2023.
