On January 18, Station B (bilibili Barrage Network) appeared on the hot search in a very awkward posture -
Crack surveillance video.
Recently, a large number of newly registered accounts have appeared on Station B, and they have uploaded a large number of videos from the perspective of surveillance, and the location of these video screens has been frozen in public places such as schools, hospitals, and company front desks.
Some netizens found this matter and exposed it, and the words used to introduce this matter are also very frightening - "B station black production".
These videos are marked with numbers, such as "Teacher 822", "Teacher 08", "Nurse 1", "Nurse 2", marked with professional information, and most of the people who are secretly recorded are women.
The time span of the video is very long, and from the picture display information alone, the farthest time is in March 2019, and the most recent is in May 2020.
In general, limited by storage space, the preservation time of real-time surveillance video will not be too long, as short as 1 to 3 months, and more than 1 year.
Uploading cracked surveillance videos in large quantities, and with such a long time span, there are only two possibilities -
1. The monitoring system of the hospital and the school has been invaded;
2, there are internal ghosts.
Whichever one it is, it is not good news, and what is involved behind it may be a huge black industrial chain. Judging from the comments below these videos, they are also "accurately" attracting users -
Secretly filming and recording is a terrible topic, under this topic, it involves a huge black industrial chain. Over the years, gangs of candid photography have been punished everywhere. Taking Shanxi as an example, 2 criminal suspects previously secretly filmed through the installation of transformation cameras, and in just 10 months, they made profits of more than 400,000 yuan.
Such a deal can be called a million profits.
After the cracking of the camera incident was exposed, Station B responded urgently. On the evening of January 17, Station B issued a "Handling Announcement", removed relevant content, banned associated accounts, and reported account information to the competent authorities.
Although Station B responded quickly, netizens did not buy it and directly questioned the content moderation mechanism of Station B - why can such a large number of illegal videos remain safely on Station B until netizens are exposed, and Station B is not processed?
In fact, the content review of Station B has always been a difficult problem.
Since 2020, on the issue of content, the relevant departments of Shanghai Municipality have punished the B station administratively 6 times and interviewed more than 10 times, involving the publication of children's "cult classics", illegal overseas cartoons, illegal use of foreign audio and video materials, illegal advertisements, exposure of the image of a variety of game characters, and vulgar content.
On December 21, 2021, Station B issued an announcement on continuously strengthening content moderation through its official Weibo.
The last round of strengthening the review announcement is less than 1 month, and Station B has fallen into a new round of whirlpool due to content review, which is really embarrassing.
Affected by this news, the stock price of Station B fell in Hong Kong stocks today, and as of the close, the stock price closed at HK$291 per share, a decline of 2.02%.
Founded in 2009, Station B has been established for as long as it has been established, and how long it has lost money. After Station B returned to Hong Kong stocks in March 2021, the stock price will fall once every time it issues a financial report.
Compared with the issue price of HK$808 per share, the stock price has fallen by 36% in less than 1 year.
In addition to the above-mentioned content supervision risks, revenue is a big problem facing Station B - as early as the beginning of the listing, Station B was criticized for its single business model, and was even questioned that it could only rely on games to make profits.
Then, despite the continuous expansion of volume, the business model development of Station B is still facing many problems, the game track is gradually weakening, the development of value-added services, advertising, and e-commerce in the other three revenue sectors is also slightly insufficient, coupled with the impact of the epidemic, the loss is gradually expanding.
At the same time, Station B is also facing competition from outside, and platforms such as Xiaohongshu, Douyin, and Kuaishou are also dividing up young people, and the cost of customer acquisition at Station B is increasing significantly.
There are wolves in the front, tigers in the back, and there is a content moderation that drags its legs, leaving too many problems for the B station.
