Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Bilibili demonstrates a mixed ethical record. The company established a "Cheer Up Center" in 2019, reportedly providing 7,500 psychological counseling cases in summer 2020 and benefiting 11,857 users since 2018, addressing Gen Z stress. However, critics point to a user data disclosure incident and a potential vulnerability in automated content moderation that could allegedly lead to mass user bans, raising AI ethics concerns. Reports also suggest lower employee salaries compared to other Shanghai tech companies, despite the CEO's CN¥254.38M compensation in 2024. The platform has been linked to reports of animal cruelty videos. Positively, Bilibili highlights 25.3 billion eco-themed video views and an implied net-zero target by 2060.
