Social media content restricted in Afghanistan, Taliban sources confirm

Social media content restricted in Afghanistan, Taliban sources confirm

The Taliban government in Afghanistan has announced restrictions on social media content, according to official sources. This move comes shortly after a two-day nationwide internet shutdown was lifted in the country. The Taliban's spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, confirmed the new content restrictions, stating that they aim to prevent the spread of "false information" and "propaganda" on social media platforms. The specific details of the restrictions, such as which platforms or types of content are affected, have not been made public. This decision is seen as the latest effort by the Taliban to tighten control over the flow of information and communication in Afghanistan since their takeover of the country in 2021. The move raises concerns about the future of freedom of expression and access to information for Afghan citizens under the Taliban's rule.
