Six-second video-sharing app Vine has announced that porn is no longer welcome on its servers, calling it "not a good fit for our community," and has posted guidelines on just what is and isn't "explicit sexual content."
"We don't have a problem with explicit content on the Internet," reads the blog post describing the change. "We just prefer not to be the source of it."
Vine offered assurances that "99 percent of our users" will be unaffected, though it requests they report posts that break the rules via the built-in flagging process. Not sure if it qualifies? Check the handy to see if that video is OK or not.
Monitoring a network of millions for activity that breaks the rules is no easy task, and we'll soon see whether Vine's administrators and users are up to the job.
