Twitter Will Not Ban The Taliban While Ex-President Trump Is Still Banned

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid has had an active Twitter account since 2017  

Daily Mai: Taliban will be allowed to STAY on Twitter - as long as they don't 'glorify violence' - while ex-president Trump is still banned 

* Twitter refused to join its social media counterparts in banning the Taliban from its platform but permanently suspended Donald Trump's account 

* Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube have all banned and terminated accounts that are related to, promote or praise the Taliban 

* On Tuesday, Rep. Doug Lamborn sent a to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, raising concerns about the Taliban being allowed to use the platform 

* 'In my review of these accounts, I did not find a single fact check on any of their tweets, nor any warnings for false or misleading content' 

Twitter has refused to join its social media counterparts in banning the Taliban from its platform, saying it'll monitor content to ensure there aren't messages 'glorifying violence.' 

The move is in stark contrast to the company's Big Tech rivals. Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram (both owned by Facebook), TikTok and YouTube have all banned and terminated accounts that are related to, promote or praise the Taliban. 

Twitter said in a statement that it'll 'continue to proactively enforce our rules and review content that may violate Twitter rules, specifically policies against glorification of violence, platform manipulation and spam.'
