How social media is dealing with the Taliban takeover

It's been two days since Kabul fell to the Taliban and social media giants are scrambling to figure out how to deal with the situation.

On Tuesday, Facebook (FB) reiterated its ban on accounts praising, supporting, or representing the Taliban from its platforms, including WhatsApp and Instagram, and said that it would remove "accounts maintained by or on behalf of the Taliban." "The Taliban is sanctioned as a terrorist organization under US law and we have banned them from our services under our Dangerous Organization policies," a company spokesperson said.
