The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) imposes a temporary block on the mobile game GoreBox following a Tacloban City school shooting. According to police findings cited by both outlets, investigators link one of the minors involved in the attack to the game. The CICC’s action is based on its assessment of the alleged connection between the suspect and the “violent” content of GoreBox. The reported police probe involves reviewing the suspect’s activity and establishing whether the game played a role in the lead-up to the incident. Both sources describe the ban as temporary and tied to the continuing investigation, rather than a final determination of responsibility. The game block is intended to limit access while authorities complete their inquiries and coordinate with relevant stakeholders. The reports also indicate that the shooting involves two minors, with one reportedly having played the game. The CICC’s order reflects the government’s broader review of cyber-related factors connected to violent incidents.
