Those of you that use Vine, the seven second video sharing engine, to distribute your nude bits and parts, better find another venue, horny dogs!
Vine announced a change to the Vine content rules, which now excludes pornography completely, instead of hiding it under the digital rug.
In a blog post made yesterday, Vine announced the following:
“We introduced Vine to make it easier for people to find, watch, create and share videos right from their mobile phones. As we’ve watched the community and your creativity grow and evolve, we’ve found that there’s a very small percentage of videos that are not a good fit for our community. So we’re making an update to our Rules and Terms of Service to prohibit explicit sexual content.
For more than 99 percent of our users, this doesn’t really change anything. For the rest: we don’t have a problem with explicit sexual content on the Internet –– we just prefer not to be the source of it.
If you’re curious to know what types of content are okay or not okay to post, you can take a look at this article in our Help Center.
If you see a video that violates our updated policy, you can report it by tapping the button with three dots below the post and selecting “Report this post”. As always, you can contact us with your thoughts and feedback on this or anything else about Vine.”
We aren’t sure how Vine plans to enforce that, short of depending on user-reported content, but there are methods out there to determine if an image or video contains nudity.
That means web sites such as VineVibes.com [NSFW!] that scoured Vine for adult hashtags, have reached their end of life.
