I’ve never seen anything on Viddy cross the line into sexually explicit. People are missing out on a quality app and video content sharing platform.

Viddy is not the villain here. I can show you ‘porn’ apps all through the app store. How many sex position apps would you like me to name? Bring Viddy back Apple!

Apple Sucks!! Lets hoard cash, Not pay dividends to share holders. Lets actually work Chinese workers to ‘death’ oh and lets decide what content we want people to see on ‘their’ apps on ‘their’ phones. I wonder if the guy who is censoring the apps, is some closet perv from Utah jerking his junk. Hey Apple ‘worry about how clean your own house is’ and stay the efff out of mine.

This is really weak. Like others have said, of course videos with cute girls are going to be viewed more often than others. That being said, it’s not like any other sort of video outlet on the internet doesn’t have the exact same issues (ie youtube, vimeo, etc). Viddy should be back in the app store pronto. Many users (most in my opinion) post harmless material that is meant to be enjoyed by others for the sake of harmless fun. Human tricks, food, concert visits, sports, friends, animals. The good stuff. Let Viddy back in!

Pulling Viddy from the app store is a bonehead move considering the obvious fact that Viddy has no control over how the app is used or what is shared. If pulling Viddy from the app store is the logical choice of action for the Twerk Police, then the powers that be might as well pull ALL other social media sharing apps from the app store as well. For example there is considerably more porn tweeted to the public timeline of Twitter using the Twitter app than Viddy users will ever be able to match. Facebook also sees its share of porn in the form of links and fan pages from “models” and even Foursquare can be a bit “racey” from time to time. Viddy gets it popularity for being another idea on how to use Social Media and share our lives with the rest of the world. Pulling Viddy form the app will do nothing to slow down the user’s ability to put pornography onto the internet. I would say that the Twerk Police need to pull their heads out of the sand and see the world for what it is. I see the People at Viddy Inc. not taking this act to likely and responding accordingly. Bring Viddy back to the App store, and stop trying to regulate the things that are beyond your control.

Viddy pulled for adult content? So does that mean that they will pull all Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Socialcam, and all text apps? The powers that be trying to control all media outlets is not going to work. As you pull one the next “big thing” is around the corner. Now people are just moving to Socialcam. So I guess we know what’s next to be pulled.

As a person who has been on this site since the beginning, and a recommended user who is not a “teeny bopper” I am not sure where this twerking is happening. I have witnessed boards on Pinterest that are dedicated to the Kama Sutra using live models and nude instagrams by the handful. I guess I would be more able to believe this article if I had actually witnessed porn on Viddy… more importantly… I feel sorry or people who are actually searching for 15 second porn to begin with.
