Online video games used to simulate terrorist attacks: PJ identified 54 links to extremist content in Portugal

The Judicial Police (PJ) identified 54 links to extremist content on gaming and social media platforms, including simulations of school and mosque attacks, as part of an international Europol-coordinated operation. The flagged content includes maps for virtual reality games, avatars with militant themes, and communities dedicated to glorifying violent acts, which the PJ warns are being used for recruitment and radicalization, particularly of minors.
