Twitter allowing the Taliban to have accounts on the service came under criticism and Republicans contrasted it with the ban on former President Donald Trump.
When asked for comment on the backlash the social media platform was receiving, a Twitter spokesperson toldthe company will"continue to proactively enforce our rules and review content that may violate Twitter rules, specifically policies against glorification of violence, platform manipulation and spam."
"In my review of these accounts, I did not find a single fact check on any of their tweets, nor any warnings for false or misleading content," Lamborn wrote."It is impossible to see how the accounts of Zabihullah Mujahid and Yousef Ahmandi do not violate your policies."
