Meta, the parent company of Facebook, announced the launch
of Facebook Verified, a feature that offers a verification badge to confirm
that a real person is behind a profile.
According to the company, the verification process can be
performed using a biometric scan of the user's face, which is used to validate
their identity and reinforce the authenticity of accounts on the platform.
The new tool aims to combat identity theft and strengthen
user security through verification mechanisms based on biometric data.
