The Italian Senate Tifa incident occurred in January 2022 during a virtual meeting titled 'For a Transparent Public Administration.' To the shock of attendees, an unauthorized user infiltrated the Zoom call and broadcasted a NSFW fan-made animation of Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII. The absurdity of a high-level political discussion being derailed by video game fan art instantly went viral across Twitter and Reddit. It has since become a symbol of government tech vulnerability and the chaotic nature of the internet, often used to joke about unexpected interruptions or the surprising popularity of Tifa Lockhart in unlikely political contexts.
