Facebook Tests Linking Your FB Account to Your News Subscriptions
https://techcrunch.comFacebook is testing a new feature that could help news publishers create a better experience for paying subscribers on the social network.
The idea is that when Facebook identifies a subscriber from one of its publisher partners, that subscriber will be invited to link their news account to their Facebook account. Once they’re linked, if they encounter a paywalled article on Facebook, they’ll be able to read it without hitting the paywall or having to log in again.
Facebook also says that when subscribers link their accounts, it will show them more content from that publisher, and that it’s “developing and [plans] to introduce additional subscriber experiences over time.”
