Anas Haqqani, a Taliban thinker with family ties to the leadership, has endorsed Twitter over the Facebook-owned Threads. He said Twitter has more freedom of speech and credibility than other platforms. The Taliban likes Twitter’s lax moderation policies which allow them to spread their message. Facebook and TikTok ban the Taliban but Twitter does not. Despite Twitter’s recent problems under Elon Musk, it remains a place where the Taliban can voice their views and be heard. An OSINT manager said he was surprised the Taliban would endorse Elon Musk’s “lawless, profit-driven” Twitter over Zuckerberg’s more uniform Facebook.
The way Rolling Stone put it, Twitter welcomed the Taliban with open arms as if to say, “Please come in. The water’s warm so you might as well swim.” Elon Musk is facist and a support of fellow fashies.
Two Taliban officials even bought blue verification check marks after Musk started selling them in January
Of course they did
far right group advocates for website that caters to far right groups
not even remotely a surprise to me, beyond I guess the fact that the taliban would have said anything at all about it

Took me longer than it should have to realise this wasn’t a shit-post.
