Facebook classifies the Taliban as a terrorist organization and deletes the pages that support it

Today, the Digital Media Center announced that Facebook has classified the Taliban movement as a terrorist organization.
In a statement received by Shia Waves, the center said, “Facebook has decided to consider the Taliban movement, which took control of Afghanistan in the past few days, as a terrorist movement.”
The center added that “the company has begun deleting its pages and supportive publications on the Facebook and Instagram platforms,” noting that “the movement’s members are still using the WhatsApp instant messaging application (affiliated with Facebook), but the company will monitor the situation and will delete any account associated with the banned organization or whoever speaks in their name.”
The center indicated that “Facebook has assigned a specialized team of Afghan experts to monitor and delete content related to the organization.”
