Jack Dorsey-backed Vine reboot Divine launches publicly with 500,000 archived Vines and new posting tools

Divine, a Vine reboot financed by Jack Dorsey's nonprofit “and Other Stuff,” launched publicly on the App Store and Google Play with an archive of roughly 500,000 Vine videos from nearly 100,000 original creators that were restored from a community backup. The app lets users post new six-second looping videos and includes a compilation mode that autoplays matching videos by hashtag, while filtering out AI-generated content by requiring users to either record directly in the app or verify uploaded videos using the C2PA content provenance standard. Divine project lead Evan Henshaw-Plath, known as “Rabble,” told TechCrunch that he chose to filter out AI content because “I don't like the idea that tons of content can be made very quickly and with little humanity or thought.”
