From the BBC website:

Twitter announced on Thursday that it was cutting 9% of its workforce following slow growth of the social network.

"In the coming months we'll be discontinuing the [Vine] mobile app," the company said in a blog.

When he learned of the change, Rus Yusupov (one of Vine's three co-founders) - tweeted: "Don't sell your company!"

A quick search revealed that it's not just a rumor - it appears to be confirmed

    Try going to home depot only to find that they banned hammers, or nails, or a specific size of nail, or a specific size of drill bit; arbitrarily.

    That is why people hate Twitter.

    But is it possible to ever have apolitical Twitter? The whole sole purpose of that tool is to show the pulse of society. I propose that any tool which shows the pulse of society is the most important tool to keep the nerves of society under control.
