<p>Whatever Vine does or doesn't have, it also has this: As of a new update released today, Vine has a <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vine-make-a-scene/id592447445?mt=8">17+ rating</a> from Apple, as well as a feature that allows you to block users, and the (new) ability to share videos to Facebook and Twitter.</p>
<p>Of course, while the new age-rating formally prohibits iPhone users under the age of 17 from downloading the app, adolescents have been lying about their ages to ogle naked bodies since before the great sex-show known as the Internet was a twinkle in the eye.</p>
