It has been widely reported
<https://freebeacon.com/national-security/taliban-leaders-used-twitter-and-whatsapp-to-help-capture-kabul/>
that Taliban leaders used Facebook’s WhatsApp and Twitter to help capture
Kabul. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid enjoys free reign on Twitter
with an account that has over 300,000 followers.

Facebook’s WhatsApp has become the de facto communication platform of the
Taliban, who reportedly used the service to spread propaganda, communicate
with residents of Kabul, and share official statements with the world.

*In messages apparently distributed to Kabul residents via the messaging
group WhatsApp, the group proclaimed that “we are in charge of security for
Kabul.” The messages listed telephone numbers in various neighborhoods that
citizens should call if they saw problems such as looting or
“irresponsible” behavior on the part of armed individuals.* Source

Meanwhile Twitter and Facebook banned the sitting President of the United
States back in January and millions of conservative Christians face
shadowbans, deplatforming, and blacklisting at the hands of Big Tech
companies. If you are a Christian conservative in the United States of
America you are treated worse and have less freedom online than the Taliban.

The significance of Big Tech’s involvement in the destabilization of
Afghanistan is largely being ignored by the likes of the ADL, SPLC, and the
many other activist groups who for years have lobbied Big Tech platforms,
hosting providers, payment processors, and more to deplatform and defame
Gab and our community.

Facebook and Twitter are once again getting a pass for the many horrors of
humanity that they allow to occur on their platforms, while Gab is
demonized and deplatformed for giving a home to political dissidents in the
United States and other Western countries.

Gab doesn’t host the Taliban. When the U.S. government tells us America’s
enemies are on the platform, we take action. Facebook and Twitter do not.

Gab has zero tolerance for threats of violence, terrorist propaganda, and
illegal activity. Our community has thousands of group moderators and
volunteers who proactivity report and take action against illegal content
on our platform.

Gab permits politically incorrect, but fully legal, speech on our platform.
The vast majority of the tens of millions of people in our community are
normal Christian conservative people who are simply fed up with Big Tech
tyranny. A small minority of people in our community use “offensive” but
legal language that the mainstream press, activist groups, and Big Tech
tyrants have painted as “dangerous.” Apparently more dangerous than the
Taliban.

In times like these it’s “dangerous” to think for yourself. It’s dangerous
to speak freely. It’s dangerous to point out that Facebook and Twitter get
a free pass on the rampant child exploitation, terrorist groups, live
streamed murders, and illegal activity that pervades these platforms.

Big Tech played a tremendous role in the embarrassing travesty that is
unfolding in Afghanistan and it’s time to start talking about it.
