Twitter making it harder (sort of) to find porn on Vine


Unsurprisingly, there's plenty of porn on Twitter new video service. It's just a bit harder to find now that the company has blocked certain search terms. But still plenty.

As well reported, there is already an endless amount of porn on Vine, a new video service Twitter. But now visible, the social networking company to be doing it a little harder to get the material for adults only.

According to Edge, Twitter blocked on some porn of Vine search terms, such as "# porn." At the same time, however, it is clear that there are still many ways people find sex tapes 6-second. For example, search for "# nsfw," which means not safe for work, as a result of any lack of video.

And while some of the videos now as a result of tapping on the screen need to get past a warning that reads, "This post may contain sensitive material," they are still easy to find.

A Twitter spokesperson told CNET, "We are in the process of changing how users find and view sensitive material. We are experimenting with several approaches and will continue to iterate.
Although Twitter is blocked Vine search terms like "porn," it is still easy to find porn on the service by searching for terms like "nsfw."

Playboy fined £100,000 by Ofcom over slack age controls for explicit videos

Playboy in 'porn on website' shocker..

Playboy's UK websites have been slapped (oo-er!) with a whopping £100,000 fine for failing to provide adequate age controls on explicit material.
The world's most famous purveyor of nudity had offered access to explicit videos from its Playboy TV and Demand Adult portals, without users having to prove their date of birth.
Government regulator Ofcom said the company's "I am over 18" button was not a suitable age verification mechanism and accused Playboy UK of failing to protect children.
In a verdict published on Wednesday Ofcom concluded that: "Playboy's failure to protect children from potentially accessing these sites was serious, repeated and reckless."

Why Ofcom?

You're probably wondering why Ofcom, the government's communications watchdog, has any juristiction over the way Playboy conducts its online business.
The regulator explained in its verdict: "Unlike other pornographic websites, [Playboy's] websites are regulated by Ofcom and its concurrent regulator, the Authority for Video On Demand (ATVOD).
"This is because they provide access to videos in a similar way to adult services broadcast on television – and fall within UK jurisdiction"
Playboy is only the second provider of 'art videos' to be penalised by Ofcom. In December 2012, it fined the Strictly Broadband adult website £60,000 for committing a similar offence.
