NEW YORK: An article on the satirical website National Report, which stated that the social networking site is going to charge its users $2.99 per month starting Nov 1 is fictional, media reports said.
"At a press conference, Facebook rolled out their new monthly service plan which begins November 1st of this year. The social media giant says they will start charging members $2.99/mo to use the services that the site has to offer," the article read.
The article also used "made up" quotes from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Epoch Times reported.
"After thinking long and hard about this decision, at the end of the day we were forced to add this monthly fee. If we don't do something about our rising costs now, Facebook could cease to exist in the near future," the website quoted Zuckerberg as saying.
