Meta Platforms and Universal Music Group (UMG) announced on Monday that they expanded their partnership to "further evolve the creative and commercial opportunities for UMG artists and Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) songwriters" across Meta's platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp.
The two companies also agreed to work together to tackle the issue of "unauthorized AI-generated content" in an effort to protect the artists.
"This partnership builds on the recognition that music can help connect us and bring fans, artists, and songwriters closer together, not only on established platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, but also in new ways on WhatsApp, and more," Tamara Hrivnak, vice president of music and content business development at Meta, stated.
