Twitter co-founder funds reboot of Vine video-sharing app

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Millennials, you'll remember this video sharing app: Vine. Predating TikTok, Vine was where shortform video gained their fame. The social media app would loop six-second clips.

Vine was shut down in 2017. Now, it's getting a reboot thanks in part to Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey.

A new app called diVine will give users access to more than 100,000 archived Vine videos. Plus, you'll be able to upload and share new videos.

In a unique feature to this app, diVine will flag videos that use generative AI and prevent it from being posted.

Tech Crunch reports diVine's creation was financed by Dorsey's nonprofit "and Other Stuff."
