Most of the social media companies block Taliban’s Activities in Afghanistan. Alphabet's YouTube said that it has a long held policy of not allowing accounts believed to be operated by the Taliban on its site, as social media companies faced questions about how they would handle the group that fast gained control of Afghanistan.

The Taliban's return to power for the first time in 20 years has raised fears of a crackdown on freedom of speech and human rights, especially women's rights, and concerns that the country could again become a hotspot for global terrorism.

The Financial Times reported that Facebook's WhatsApp messaging service has shut down a complaint’s helpline for Afghans to contact the Taliban.

Most of the US social media companies scrambled to publicly clarify their rules on the group that is in control of Afghanistan.

After US-led forces withdrew the bulk of their remaining troops last month, the Taliban campaign accelerated as the Afghan military's defences melted away.

WhatsApp spokesperson said that the service was obligated to ban accounts that appear to represent themselves as official accounts of the Taliban, as part of U.S sanction laws.

The complaints number that was an emergency hotline for civilians to report violence, looting or other problems was blocked by Facebook along with other official Taliban channels, the report said.

Facebook reiterated its ban on accounts praising, supporting, or representing the Taliban from its platforms, including WhatsApp and Instagram, and said that it would remove "accounts maintained by or on behalf of the Taliban."

"The Taliban is sanctioned as a terrorist organization under US law and we have banned them from our services under our Dangerous Organization policies," a company spokesperson said.

A Twitter spokesperson said that people in Afghanistan are using the platform to seek help, and the company promised to "remain vigilant" in enforcing its policies, including those that ban content that glorifies violence.
