Facebook owner, Mark Zuckerberg and wife welcome 3rd child

Facebook’s co-founder, Mark Zuckerberg, and his wife Dr Priscilla Chan have welcomed their third baby together.

The proud father took to Instagram to announce the birth of their third daughter whom they have named Aurelia Chan Zuckerberg.

In his words:

“Welcome to the world, Aurelia Chan Zuckerberg! You’re such a little blessing.”

One of the photos shared showed Zuckerberg beholding his newborn daughter with a wide grin on his face.

Another photo captured his wife, Priscilla, holding the baby girl close to her, while trying to establish skin-to-skin contact.

Congratulatory messages have been pouring in ever since the happy father flaunted his baby on Instagram.

Mark Zuckerberg copies Elon Musk, asks Facebook and Instagram users to pay N5500 ($12) for verification

Facebook and Instagram users will now be paying N5,500 ($11.99) a month to use the verification badge otherwise known as the blue tick badge.

Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg made this known on Sunday, February 19, 2023, following a similar move by Elon Musk at Twitter.

Meta Verified, which will roll out first in Australia and New Zealand this week, will let users “verify your account with a government ID, get a blue badge, get extra impersonation protection against accounts claiming to be you, and get direct access to customer support,” Zuckerberg said.

“This new feature is about increasing authenticity and security across our services,” he wrote in a statement posted to his Facebook account.

There would be no changes to accounts on Facebook and Instagram that are already verified, the company said, adding that only users who are over the age of 18 will be allowed to subscribe. The service is not yet available to businesses.

Musk’s initial attempts to launch a similar service at rival social media network Twitter last year backfired wildly with an embarrassing spate of fake accounts that scared advertisers and cast doubt on the site’s future.

He was forced to briefly suspend the effort before relaunching it to muted reception in December.

Meta’s announcement comes as the social media behemoth grappled with financial difficulties over the past year, announcing in November that it would lay off 11,000 employees or 13 percent of its staff — the largest worker reduction in the company’s history.

The layoffs are part of a wave of redundancies announced by Silicon Valley giants in recent months, as the once unassailable sector faces economic gloom.

Meta is also under pressure for making a huge gamble on the metaverse, the world of virtual reality that Zuckerberg believes will be the next frontier online.
