Social media company Facebook has said it will continue to ban the Taliban and content supporting it from its platforms as the insurgent group is sanctioned as a terrorist organisation under United States law."We also have a dedicated team of Afghanistan experts, who are native Dari and Pashto speakers and have knowledge of local context, helping to identify and alert us to emerging issues on the platform," a Facebook spokesperson told.The insurgent group has been banned from Facebook platforms for many years.
The Taliban took control of Afghanistan on Sunday evening after making rapid advances through the country amid the withdrawal of foreign troops. Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani left the country, reportedly for neighbouring Tajikistan.The airspace over Afghanistan was closed on Monday afternoon after thousands fearful of Taliban rule desperately thronged the airport in an attempt to flee the war-torn country. At least five people were reportedly killed amid the chaos at the Kabul airport. Some videos showed horrifying images of at least two people who tried to escape Kabul by clinging to a plane fall after takeoff.The Taliban takeover has posed problems for social media companies on how to handle the content of the insurgent group as many governments consider them a terrorist organisation, according to Reuters. Different social media platforms are handling the matter differently.
