Threads Review - Meta Verified Vs Twitter Blue

I delve into the contrast between Meta verification on Threads and Twitter Blue verification. I've noticed a significant trend of users migrating to Threads under the pretext that Twitter now charges for verification. However, a deeper look reveals that Meta verification is far more invasive and almost twice as expensive - $22 for Canadians, compared to Twitter's $12.

On the upside, the Meta fee covers both Instagram and Threads. But the catch lies in the extremely intrusive process that requires you to submit your actual ID even for changing profile pictures, thus tightly linking you to your account. On the other hand, Twitter only asks for your phone number - an approach that allows greater privacy and more room for maintaining multiple accounts. In my opinion, Twitter's model is better because it involves less censorship and respects user privacy more than Threads offers.
