Twitter has decided to clamp down on the posting of explicit sexual content on its Vine video-sharing service.
The company said it did not have a problem with such content on the Internet, but did not want to be the source for it.
A number of social networks already have rules in some form or the other prohibiting sexually explicit content. Facebook, for example,
prohibits the sharing of pornographic content and any explicitly sexual content where a minor is involved, besides placing limitations on the display of nudity.
