Seeking clarification, what this is about?

It is off of Facebook company site halfway the process of placing marketing post boost budget.

I think there is similar phenomena with Youtube as well, while using the iOS App for the service.

Looks like the OP is trying to pay to get special placement for their ads or posts on some social media platform.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was coming from FaceBook or Instagram. When selling "in-app purchases" on an iPhone or iPad, they have to give Apple a cut of the sale. Instead of absorbing that as a cost of doing business, like virtually everyone else does, it seems that they have chosen to raise prices for people who pay them on the iPhone or iPad.

Meta – Avoid the Apple service fee when boosting Facebook ads

Note that if this is what we are talking about, Apple is not forcing Meta to add on this charge. Meta is choosing to add on this charge, and call it out as a separate item, apparently to try to shift any "heat" to Apple.

Sort of like how most places accept credit cards without charging extra, but a few will tack on an extra charge if you pay that way.

What is this a screenshot of? Where are you seeing it? In what app? Context is important.

Then you need to take the issue up with Facebook.

Ah, that all seems very likely. I just have never seen such a screen, and without context was lost.

Tell your feline masters you have done well.
