White House removes from its website controversial Tetris-inspired game

SAPO Notícias9 September 2026 at 07:13

The White House removed from its website a controversial Tetris-inspired game. The game had been made available on the official platform and generated controversy among users.

The game consisted of building a wall at the border. Players were challenged to erect barriers to stop the advance of zombies.

The removal of the game occurred after the wave of criticism that arose on social media. Many users expressed their displeasure at the game's content.

The game was associated with the administration's immigration policy. The use of zombies as adversaries to be blocked was interpreted as a reference to anti-immigration rhetoric.

50 years later, China remains silent about Mao's death but preserves his legacy

China marked 50 years since Mao Zedong's death without any official ceremony or coverage in state media, in a demonstration of calculated silence about the founder of the People's Republic. Although the regime formally keeps his legacy untouched, with his statue in Tiananmen Square and the portrait in the Great Hall of the People, Beijing chose not to commemorate the anniversary, reflecting the persistent ambivalence towards his polarizing figure, responsible both for the founding of modern China and for policies that caused millions of deaths. The decision not to mark the date contrasts with the annual celebration of the founding of the People's Republic on October 1st.
