Anas Haqqani, a Taliban thinker with family ties to the leadership, has endorsed Twitter over the Facebook-owned Threads. He said Twitter has more freedom of speech and credibility than other platforms. The Taliban likes Twitter’s lax moderation policies which allow them to spread their message. Facebook and TikTok ban the Taliban but Twitter does not. Despite Twitter’s recent problems under Elon Musk, it remains a place where the Taliban can voice their views and be heard. An OSINT manager said he was surprised the Taliban would endorse Elon Musk’s “lawless, profit-driven” Twitter over Zuckerberg’s more uniform Facebook.
The way Rolling Stone put it, Twitter welcomed the Taliban with open arms as if to say, “Please come in. The water’s warm so you might as well swim.” Elon Musk is facist and a support of fellow fashies.
i like the pun, good job.
