Is A Facebook DJ Set ban coming?
DJs haven’t had a particularly good 2020. With Coronavirus pretty much wiping out earning potential, many have turned to Facebook to share their music with their audiences – but is that about to come to an abrupt end too?
Facebook has updated its terms and conditions to add the following restriction from 1st October 2020:
“You may not use videos on our Products to create a music listening experience … If you use videos on our Products to create a music listening experience for yourself or for others, your videos will be blocked and your page, profile or group may be deleted. This includes Live.”
Facebook’s message is clear: Their platform is for sharing with family and friends, not for sharing music – unless of course you’re big enough to get an exception to the rules! So, what can we do instead?
