Popular Chinese video-sharing platform BiliBili's website and app appeared to be inaccessible Tuesday night Asia Time.
In the U.S., Bilibili's homepage displays as normal, but once clicking on a specific link, a "401 Not Found" message appears. In China, web users have shared screenshots of the app or website that kept loading. #b站崩了# or "Bilibili is down," is a trending topic on Chinese social media platform Weibo.
Update, July 13, 2021: Weibo users have reported that three other platforms are also down. Social media platform Douban, Jinjiang Literature City, a major site hosting user-created novels and fan fiction, and AcFun, another popular video site among Chinese ACG (Anime, Comic and Games) fans, also appeared to be inaccessible. All three sites were accessible from the U.S. at the time of the writing.
Update, July 13, 2021: In a post on Weibo, Bilibili traced the inaccessibility to a malfunction in part of its server room equipment.
