The Taliban may be presenting themselves as the new government in Afghanistan, but Facebook has completely banned the Taliban from its platform. Facebook says that the Taliban is a terrorist organization under US law and therefore it will remain banned in our service. According to the policies of Facebook – terrorist organization cannot be given place on the platform. The Taliban or any account or post associated with it will not find space on Facebook.

Let us tell you that a Taliban official has urged women to join the government while announcing amnesty for all in Afghanistan. Einamullah Samangani, a member of the Islamic Emirate of Culture Commissioner, made the remarks on Afghan state TV, which is now under Taliban control. He said the Islamic Emirate does not want women to suffer. Actually, the Taliban uses the Islamic Emirate for Afghanistan.
