Musk & Trump Interview Face Technical Issues

Meta & UMG Expand Licensing Deal
Meta and Universal Music Group (UMG) have renewed their licensing agreement to cover the use of UMG's music across more Meta platforms, including Threads and WhatsApp.
The multiyear deal also includes measures to address unauthorized AI-generated content and expands UMG's presence on Meta’s social apps like Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger.
This agreement contrasts with TikTok's previous struggles to secure similar music licensing deals.
