(CBS) -Meta is rolling out a new paid subscription model for Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Prices for the “Plus” plans range from about $3 to $4 a month, depending on the app. Meta says the plans give subscribers access to extra features, including customizable themes, “super” reactions and insight into who is watching their stories, which they can now extend beyond 24 hours. Meta Subscription plans(CBS)“Meta is following the trend of many other companies — like X, like Youtube — and saying hey you know we’re spending tons of money on AI, we need other revenue streams and social media is becoming sort of tiered. It’s pay to play if you’re a heavy user,” said Kelly O’Grady, Moneywatch correspondent and CBS Saturday Morning co-anchor. The new plans will not replace what Meta currently offers. The company says it is also testing additional subscription plans for creators and businesses, as well as AI-focused plans for all users.

Republican gubernatorial frontrunner Bobby Charles admitted to receiving MaineCare benefits in a Facebook post on Thursday and reaffirmed that statement in the comments before correcting it and saying that he is actually on Medicare. Charles’s rapid-fire style on social media has successfully drawn attention from voters and has likely contributed to his consistent place at the top of polls. However, it also carries risks, such as an apparent typo suggesting that Charles was enrolled in a program whose failings he has consistently criticized. He spoke to The Maine Wire over the phone to explain the situation while taking responsibility for the mistake himself. “The buck stops with me; I’m the candidate; it’s my fault,” he said on a phone call with The Maine Wire. He explained that he spoke to his staff and told them to put up the original post, then learned that they had made an error and told them to fix it, and also issued a correction himself. “I grew up in Wayne.  » Read More

“My grandmother changed her entire Medicare plan based on a Facebook ad.” Last year, Marissa’s 79-year-old grandmother, from Las Vegas, clicked on an ad promising her a $40 a month grocery stipend through Medicare. It was a scam. This is what Meta is profiting from. Instead of protecting users, CCDH found that the company earned $14.3 million from scammers. Marissa’s grandmother is not the first senior to be deceived by Medicare scammers: most of the ads in our dataset target people over 65, with 73% of impressions reaching these users. An unwanted change in health plans is not just an administrative headache. It can delay important medical care, cause serious financial losses, and put seniors at risk. “I wish Meta would crack down on these kinds of things. They’re blatantly advertising things that do not exist and cannot be attained to people who are on fixed incomes and are isolated. It’s absolutely cruel,” Marissa told CCDH. “If this was a scam, why would it be on Facebook?” Meta’s failure to stop scams that deceive seniors put a strain on the entire family.  » Read More

MONTVALE, N.J.—An attorney for Mayor Michael Ghassali filed a motion May 21 to dismiss a First Amendment lawsuit against him by a Park Ridge resident who alleges the mayor restricted his right to free expression on an official government social media page. The attorney’s motion said legal documents seeking dismissal of the lawsuit will be filed in Superior Court on Thursday, July 2, and oral argument has been requested on the motion. Christopher Botta, of Botta McCaskey LLC, Ramsey, attorney for Ghassali, states that the mayor’s Facebook page is not an official government page, but rather his personal page, which provides a variety of updates on community news and events. Botta also notes that the borough has its own official Facebook page. Park Ridge resident Howard Fredrics, chairman of PKRG-TV, which serves the Borough of Park Ridge, filed a lawsuit March 3 in Superior Court against Ghassali, alleging that Ghassali’s blocking of him from the Facebook page violated his First Amendment rights.
