The micro blogging site admitted that it made the explicit video, which was tagged ”pórn” and “nsfwvine”, an “editor”s pick” by mistake on Monday, meaning users could view the x-ratéd clip without leaving the homepage.
Immediately they realised this mistake, Twitter removed the vidéo immediately. We apologise to our users for the error, the company added.
According to reports, the blunder heaped pressure on Twitter to explain how it will clean up the app, which is available free on Apple iPhones and has already been credited with inventing “micropórn”.
The reports also states that Vine videos have been reported as inappropriate prompted users to ‘tap to view’ them, unlike all other clips which play automatically.
This, really should help warn users about x rated content, although it is unlikely to satisfy parental groups on Internet safety, the reports said.
Twitter said in a statement that ‘a human error’ resulted in a video with adult content becoming one of the videos in editor’s picks.
