It seems that the battle to create a platform free of pornographic content has only just begun to Apple And, a few days ago we told you that for this reason the Cupertino company removed from the App Store a couple of photography applications that contained nudity , now you have to deal with Vine videos, the latest tool from Twitter An application that in its first week of life is giving a lot to talk about
This new application, for those who still don't know it, allows you to recordabar short six-second videos These are published after and can be viewed by the rest of the community, voting them with Like andcommenting on them in the purest style Instagram The point is that some of these users have decided portray, in just six seconds, sexual acts or, capture their private parts Something that goes against Apple's conditions
For this reason, the app Vine has been removed from the featured section of the App Store A place reserved for the most popular applications of the moment , and where they usually stay at least a week However, the passage of Vine has been a seen and not seen for this section.From where they will not be able to remove it is from the list of most downloaded applications, where as of today it has already managed to be in theeighth place in the Spanish App Store
But things don't end here.Twitter , owner ofVine , has also taken its measures about it seeing the fame she was getting on her new app. In this way, she hasrestricted the search for the hastag or tagPorn(porn). With this he wanted to avoid accessing the list of pornographic videos that some users are posting on Vine In addition videos detected as porn now have a warning screen before playback. Not a very exhaustive measure. And it has already been discovered how to skip itJust search for other tags related to sex or porn, and find a video tagged with Porn By clicking on said label we will obtain again the list of said prohibited videos
Apparently, Vine does not have among its terms of useNo rules that limit the freedom of expression of its users. Something that he shares with Twitter In this way, he would not persecute videos of an erotic or pornographic natureAlthough, it does have the option to mark content as inappropriate. If this is repeated by several more users, the video is removed from Vine Very different are the Apple's exhaustive requirements , who states that “applications that contain pornographic material, defined by Webster's Dictionary as explicit descriptions, showing the sexual organs or activities intended to stimulate the erotic rather than aesthetic feelings or emotional, will be rejected”.
Now we have to wait and see if Apple complies with its own policies , as it already did with the application 500px in a fulminating way. Or will it have any weight that Vine belongs to Twitter? For now Vine is still available for iPhone on the App Store, totally free But for how long ? Should I Apple remove it from App Store?
