Facebook has banned the Taliban and all related content from its platforms as it counts the group as a terrorist body. The Taliban have taken power in Afghanistan after the US-backed government collapsed and President Ghani left the country.

Due to this, new challenges are raised for internet firms in dealing with content related to the group. Facebook has decided to ban the Taliban and all related content from its platforms. The company has also assigned a team of Afghan experts to watch and remove content associated with the group.

“The Taliban is counted as a terrorist group in US law, and we have banned them under Dangerous Organization policies. This means we remove all accounts by or on behalf of the Taliban and stop praise, help, and representation of them,” a Facebook spokesperson said.
