twitter says you must be 17 years old to use its video app, vine, after criticism for porn on the service.
Vine, the social video application that rocketed up the App Store charts when it was first released two weeks ago, has enacted an age minimum for users. All new users and existing users who try to update to the latest version of the app, now must be 17 years old.
Or perhaps more accurately, they must identify themselves as 17 years old. When attempting to download the app for the first time or upgrade to the 1.0.5 version of the app, users are sent a push notification asking them to confirm they are 17 or older.
The new age restriction is presumably a reaction to criticism that users were uploading hardcore pornography to video-based social network. Previously, the app was rated for user 13 and older..."
