After years of artistic silence, one of the biggest female pop stars of all time is making a huge comeback, releasing her first album in nearly a decade and going on a huge world tour - but Janet Jackson's Instagram management has gotten a bit out of control.
A few days back, the New York Post's Page Six reported that the people managing Janet Jackson's Instagram were being a little too drastic in their desire to keep the singer's copyright intact, as many fans were getting their photos, videos or even accounts deleted after posting snaps of her concerts - so the pop star herself took matters in her own hands.
According to Billboard, the 49 year-old pop diva took to Twitter to cool the mood about those Janet Jackson Instagram allegations, saying that she has now instructed her team to be less extreme when it comes to managing content featuring her.
"My team is passionate about protecting the intellectual property we are creating for the tour and possible future projects," said the star on a statement, The Verge reports, addressing the Janet Jackson Instagram controversy. "It was never their intention, acting on my behalf, to have social media accounts removed. Permitting the use of long clips does present a contractual problem for these projects. I hope you understand. I trust the fans will use their short recordings for their own memories and to share on their social media networks of choice."
Rolling Stone Magazine reports that reps for the social media company explained that the Janet Jackson Instagram situation was also due to a bug that "resulted in the removal of accounts that shouldn't have been removed," though it is the case that those who have gone through repeated infringements of copyright will be deleted.
In any case, it seems it just got a little bit less tragic to post Janet Jackson Instagram snaps.
