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."
