Meta is testing a new subscription model that charges pages on Facebook to post links, a move that is unexpectedly impacting government and nonprofit organizations. Despite Meta's claims that these entities should be exempt, users like Daniel Starks from Greenville, Texas, and Bethany English from Indianapolis have found their pages restricted to only two link posts per month without a paid subscription.
