Janet Jackson sympathises with fans over deleted social media accounts...

Just moments ago, Janet Jackson showed sympathy to fans who have had their Instagram accounts deleted. Multiple accounts were removed after footage from her recent concert was uploaded to the social media platform.
Damage control is a good start, as Janet was getting negative press over it. I thought it was really drastic that users were losing their accounts just for posting 15-second concert footage. 

Janet says she has no problem with short clips. It's just that her team go H.A.M especially on lengthy clips posted to YouTube as they create contractual problems. Check out her statement below.

Hey you guys, I have been listening…
I love and appreciate my fans. I want you to know that I enjoy watching the short video clips of how you are Burning It Up at the Unbreakable shows. Please keep posting them.
My team is passionate about protecting the intellectual property we are creating for the tour and possible future projects. 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.
I have asked my team to change their approach and allow you to engage socially with these videos.
I know I wouldn’t be here without the love I stand on.
