Vine (service)

Vine is a mobile app by Twitter that hosts short video clips for sharing through the user's Twitter feed.^[1] Clips have a maximum length of six seconds. It debuted on 24 January 2013^[2] as a free iOS app on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Twitter is working on bringing the app to other platforms.^[3]

Less than a week after its debut, pornographic video clips started appearing on the service. Pornography is not forbidden by Twitter's guidelines^[4] One sexually explicit clip was featured as an "Editor's Pick" in the Vine app, which Twitter blamed on "human error".^[5]
