Taliban, a group that has praised the free expression of the Elon Musk-owned Twitter website, has offered Twitter support and praise from an unexpected source.

Anas Haqqani, the head of the Taliban, said that he favors Twitter because of its dedication to free expression.
Haqqani joined the Twitter vs. Threads social media battle.

Haqqani praised Twitter for its public character, legitimacy, and free speech rules as well as its public nature and support for Musk.

Additionally, he contrasted the rules of the two networks, noting that Twitter has a larger audience and allows for more open communication whereas Meta limits users from freely discussing their opinions.

Twitter is superior than other social media networks in two key ways. The right to free speech comes first. The credibility and public character of Twitter constitute the second privilege. Like Meta, Twitter doesn’t have an intolerant policy. It cannot be replaced by other platforms,” Haqqani tweeted.

Relevantly, the Taliban has a well-followed Twitter account that is always active.

The Taliban publish in Urdu on a regular basis to their account called “Islamic Emirates Afg.”

The organization is able to express itself thanks to the microblogging platform despite its several contentious and often criticized regulations.

The Taliban, on the other hand, has been classified as a “Tier 1 designated terrorist organization” by Meta, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.

According to a spokeswoman for Meta, the firm prohibits the use of its platform by terrorist individuals, groups, or networks.

“We assess these entities based on their behavior both online and offline, most significantly, their ties to violence,” the corporation claims in a policy statement.

However, Meta’s new social networking program has had great popularity since its release despite the Taliban commander favoring Twitter over Threads.

In only five days, Threads eclipsed ChatGPT as the quickest online platform to reach the 100 million registration mark.
