When the Taliban were asked about respecting the rights of free speech for women, they asked about free speech from Facebook. The Taliban have social media accounts. Trump doesn't. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram should be ashamed.

I was just saying this. They are being fed media talking points but make no mistake, this is not a reformed group of terrorists looking to do good. This is a terrorist organization looking for legitimacy. https://twitter.com/...

Individuals under OFAC sanction should not have access to US-based social media platforms to spread their messages. It's really that simple. https://twitter.com/...

The tactics overall show such a high degree of skill that analysts believe at least one public relations firm is advising the Taliban on how to push key themes, amplify messages ... — much like corporate and political campaigns do across the world. https://www.washingtonpost.com/…
