Social media content restricted in Afghanistan, Taliban sources confirm

Restrictions on social media content have been confirmed in Afghanistan by Taliban sources, following a recent blackout of internet and telecommunication services. Users report limited access to platforms like Facebook and Instagram, with videos and images not loading or being restricted. The Taliban government has not provided a formal explanation for these restrictions, which come amidst increasing concerns about censorship and the erosion of rights, particularly for women, since the group regained power in 2021.
