Twitter had “two important advantages” over other social media platforms following the launch of Meta-owned rival Threads. AFPPIX: Twitter owner Elon Musk's freewheeling approach to the platform's handling of censorship has won support from an unlikely quarter -- Afghanistan's Taliban.
The Taliban had a low-key presence on social media until they stormed back to power in August 2021. Before that, many of their accounts -- and those of sympathisers -- were frequently blocked as fast as they were created. Social media observers say accounts with the name “Taliban”, “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” or featuring the movement’s distinctive flag rarely last long.
Many had been suspended for reasons such as denying US election results, spreading misinformation about Covid, peddling conspiracy theories or promoting extremist ideologies.Haqqani -- son of famed anti-Russian mujahideen fighter turned Taliban Jalaluddin Haqqani, and brother of interior minister Sirajuddin Haqqani -- is one of the movement's youngest political leaders.
