Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who recently acquired control of Twitter after completing a $44 billion acquisition deal, conducted a poll among his followers asking if short-video application Vine

should return. Taking to Twitter, the new owner of the microblogging platform posted a poll asking, “Bring back Vine?"

Following the question, the post has received nearly 2,018,996 votes, so far. Besides, there are 17 hours left for users to cast their votes. The question has been asked in a ‘yes and no’

format, where those who want the app back can click on the affirmative. 

Further, looking at the poll, it appears that Elon Musk may think about bringing the 6-second video app back after it received a massive number of 'yes' votes. 30.3% of users voted against

it, as compared to 69.7% who voted in favor. 

However, it is still not clear if the new Twitter owner genuinely intends to relaunch the application or if he's only attempting to increase interest in his most recent acquisition. 

Vine was first introduced in the year 2013 and swiftly rose to the top of the list of smartphone apps. The social networking site had more than 200 million active users by 2015. According to

a Comicbook report, it lasted until 2016, when Twitter essentially ended the service by restricting new content submissions and converting the app into an archive of previously-aired films.

The app was permanently taken offline in April 2019.  

In the meantime, Elon Musk said on Sunday that the microblogging site will modify its user verification process. When a Twitter user questioned the verification procedure only days after

Musk assumed control of the social media platform, he replied, "The whole verification process is being revamped right now." 

Previously, Musk also stated that there won't be any immediate adjustments made to Twitter's content moderation policies. "To be super clear, we have not yet made any changes to Twitter's

content moderation policies", he remarked in a tweet. Musk also indicated the creation of a committee to decide on crucial microblogging system moderation issues. Additionally, he tweeted

that Twitter will be creating a content moderation council with a wide range of perspectives.
