The launch of Twitter's video-sharing service Vine has brought with it another look at pornography on Apple's tightly-controlled iOS platform, and that scrutiny may be about to increase — the current top Editor's Pick when you open the Vine app is a pornographic clip. Since Editor's Picks are inserted into every Vine user's main feed, it seems this video is being pushed out to a huge number of Vine users. The video is hidden behind a NSFW filter and doesn't play automatically, but nonetheless it seems some users aren't exactly happy with having porn automatically inserted into their feed. We're reaching out to Twitter now to find out exactly how this happened, but it's clear that Apple will soon have to respond — if the company can justify pulling highly-regarded photo app 500px from the store due to pornographic concerns, Vine should represent a real issue for the company's porn police force.
