Vine updated its terms of service to ban all sexually explicit content. The short video sharing service tried to curb sexual material in the past but never officially banned it.

We don’t have a problem with explicit sexual content on the Internet –– we just prefer not to be the source of it.

“We don’t have a problem with explicit sexual content on the Internet –– we just prefer not to be the source of it,” Vine writes in a blog post.

Vine’s reasoning is that it wants to make it easy for the community to grow. Sexually explicit content does not fit in this vision. The company downplays the amount of sexual content found on the service. “We’ve found that there’s a very small percentage of videos that are not a good fit for our community,” writes Vine.

For more information about what types of content is considered sexual content, Twitter has created a FAQ on the subject.
