Overview
- diVine went live with access to a large restored Vine archive, reported as more than 100,000 clips, with the project lead estimating roughly 150,000–200,000 from about 60,000 creators.
- The app blocks suspected generative‑AI videos and uses Guardian Project technology to help confirm that uploads were recorded on a smartphone.
- Developed by early Twitter employee Evan Henshaw‑Plath using Archive Team backups, the project reconstructs videos plus select user metadata such as views and a subset of comments.
- Creators retain copyright, can reclaim profiles by verifying linked social accounts, and may request removals through DMCA takedowns.
- diVine is accessible via diVine.video for iOS and Android, with the team reporting repeated Apple App Store review rejections, while X’s previously touted Vine revival has not launched.
