Philippine authorities have banned the mobile application GoreBox following a shooting at a school in Cainta, Rizal province, which left three people dead, including the perpetrator. The shooter, a 16-year-old student, reportedly livestreamed the attack on the app, which features violent content and allows users to watch and interact with live streams. Education officials have expressed concern over the app’s potential to glorify violence and incite further incidents. The ban aims to prevent similar tragedies and protect students from harmful online content. The Department of Justice is investigating the incident and the app’s role in the shooting. The Philippines’ Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has ordered internet service providers to block access to GoreBox.
