Najibullah Haqqani, Taliban's Minister of Telecommunications and Information Technology, declared that his ministry has completed a plan to limit or entirely block access to specific social platforms, including Facebook, in Afghanistan, afintl.com reports on April 7. Haqqani argued that shutting down Facebook would help to "prevent the waste of youth's time and resources" and curb exposure to "immoral content." Additionally, Taliban cabinet has instructed the Ministry to block other platforms and channels, including TikTok and PUBG, citing their potential to mislead youth. This move to restrict access to Facebook in Afghanistan comes as Meta, Facebook's parent company, has already blocked accounts associated with the Taliban and Afghan government institutions under US anti-terrorism laws.
