FAQs
Is Downloading Facebook Videos Illegal?
No. If you download the video from Facebook to watch later, you are fine. However, if you download, modify or upload a modified work by an author without their permission, you have infringed copyright.
What is the Fair use policy?
Fair use policy is a legal principle. It was introduced to promote freedom of expression by allowing copyright-protected work to be used without a license in certain circumstances. For example, it is permissible to use the work of others for critique, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
Why can I no longer download videos from Facebook?
As is often the case, some features change in the Facebook application and on the desktop page. For example, a year ago, I was able to right-click on a video on the desktop and capture the URL for that video. You take its URL and go to the website like 6 listed above and download the Facebook video. That has changed.
