Twitter's Vine Video App Enacts Age Restriction Amid Criticism for Porn | Digital - Advertising Age

Twitter's Vine Video App Enacts Age Restriction Amid Criticism for Porn | Digital - Advertising Age | Tracking Transmedia | Scoop.it
From adage.com - February 6, 8:40 AM
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..."

From www.filmmakingstuff.com - July 19, 2012 9:46 AM

In this guest filmmaking article, we cover the top five mistakes made in documentary funding. By Faith Fuller

 

Are you in need of funding for your documentary? Are you uncomfortable asking people for money? Are you baffled by the whole fundraising process? Sometimes, just knowing a few simple rules and avoiding some common mistakes can make all the difference in your fundraising success.

 

Top 5 Fundraising Mistakes for Doc Filmmakers:

 

1. Not having a trailer – There’s nothing that can catapult or doom a documentary fundraising effort like a trailer. If you have a fantastic trailer that moves people emotionally, your chances for donations dramatically improve.

 

According to the crowd-funding platform IndieGoGo, campaigns with videos raise 122% more money than those without. You not only need a video, but that video needs to hit an emotional nerve with the audience. And NEVER show your video online without having a donate button right next to the video. If people are moved by your trailer, they need a way to donate right then and there while they’re “in the moment” and feeling inspired...
