A pornographic video briefly made Vine's "Editor Pick" list, further raising the question of whether the video-clip-sharing app has a porn problem.
The clip showed up this morning, and was spotted by The Verge, before it was quickly taken down. A video featuring the "I love NY" logo is the current top editor's pick.
The Twitter app, which allows users to share six-second looping video clips, launched last week with a lot of buzz. But just a few days after its launch, videos not suitable for work began showing up on the app. Searches for #nsfw, #porn, and #sex brought up graphic results.
The pornographic clip was behind a NSFW filter, and users had to actively hit the screen to show the video.
Many wonder how long Vine will remain in Apple's store, given the company's strict policy over adult content and nudity. Apple reportedly removed app 500px because it allowed users to share nude photos with each other.
CNET contacted Twitter for additional details, and we'll update the story when the company responds.
