Vine will block all types of porn videos
Although Vine already had to face the idea of becoming a social network of porn videos, it seems that its growth and development of its community has not chosen these paths. Even so, its managers have decided to update their terms of use (those cumbersome texts that are displayed the first time an application is installed and that are accepted without being read generally) to protect the user community and to eradicate pornographic content from their six-second videos.
According to the publication of its official blog, Vine has grown remarkably and in it a “small percentage of videos that do not fully fit with the community” of users that populate this application. Videos with explicit pornographic content that are far from the majority style that can be seen in the rest of the videos where humor, cats , music and situations are the general tone. That is why they have decided to change the terms of use to start blocking these porn videos according to the new rules.
But What can be published and what can't? To know what they consider explicit sexual content they have created a informative web page that has not yet been translated into Spanish. What may not be posted is depictions of sex, sexually suggestive nudity, or graphic sexual contentIn other words, all types of videos will be blocked where genitals, sexual practices, sexual practices represented by cartoons, practices with sex toys or even striptease (sexually provocative nude dances).
Although they seem like the most restrictive rules, there are cases in which it is possible to publish a video that includes certain types of nudism And it is that those responsible for Vine claim not to be against pornography, just prevent the user community from coming across this content in a social network that bets on other types of videos. Therefore it is possible to publish videos of protests in which protesters appear naked, where a mother breastfeeds a child , a naked model in an art class or even suggestive dances as long as clothes are worn.Issues that leave sex or its representation aside.
In addition, along with these new rules, Vine has introduced a method for users to report videos that violate the established rules Simply press the button with the three dots and select the option Report so that those responsible take action on it. Something that if repeated several times can lead to the permanent suspension of the account of the user who has violated the rules.
Some users have already expressed their discontent, although taking into account the figures and the general nature of the application Vine, it is a question almost necessary. Even more so after in its beginnings it was one of the key issues against which it had to fight when it became famous for the six-second pornographic videos that many users began to share.Something that is now a minority and that, shortly, will disappear from this social network.
