London, Jan 28 (ANI): The new video-sharing app, Vine, which was launched by Twitter, has come under fire as it is being filled with sexually-explicit content, a report has said.
The ease and lack of restrictions on the service, called Vine, allows for racy users to spread porn quickly.
Like with Twitter, users are able
to search the platform by hashtags, so technology commentors began
realizing the problem when a quick run of the term porn, or a vast array
of more specific sexual tags, immediately produces a host of dirty
videos, the Daily Mail reports.
According to the paper, Tech Crunch
pointed out that Twitter administrators are known for their
censorship-free stance and only budge when it is a question of legality.
This view is shown in Vine's terms of service, as they do not explicitly ban sexual content, the paper said.
The only function in place right now to regulate the videos is a button where viewers can mark a video as inappropriate, the paper added.
That said, such a tag will not
necessarily remove the video: if a certain- though unknown- number of
people mark the video as inappropriate, it will be given a warning
before the video, but it will still be allowed to run.Source:Yahoo!
