Apple gives adult rating to Twitter's Vine app - Times of India

LONDON: Twitter's new video sharing app Vine has been given adult rating on App Store.

Vine has had its age rating increased to 17+ on Apple's store, the highest option. The software had previously been rated suitable for 12-year-olds. The move comes in the wake of complaints that some of its six-second segments were pornographic.

According to the BBC, Vine is not yet available for Android, but Google Play rates its 500px app as having a "high maturity" content rating, while Tumblr is marked as "low maturity".

The app had previously made headlines after one of its Editor's Pick showed a couple engaged in a sexual act.Shortly after the clip's selection it entered the app's "popular now" list, signalling it was one of the product's most viewed videos.

Twitter later apologised, blaming "human error".
