So Twitter has banned Donald Trump, but allows the Taliban to post away. It's just incredible.

Hamas and other extreme jihadist tweet freely . The Compost celebrates the Taliban's "strikingly sophisticated" social media prowess .


“For a group that espouses ancient moral codes, the Afghan Taliban has used strikingly sophisticated social media tactics to build political momentum and, now that they’re in power, to make a public case that they’re ready to lead a modern nation state after nearly 20 years of war,”

Afghanistan Taliban long have used Twitter, WhatsApp as propaganda, governance tools - The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/08/18/taliban-social-media-success/)

They claim that Trump's tweets broke Twitter's hate speech rules and incited violence while the Taliban does not . Just wow !!

The Bee did a parody of this having Trump sneak back onto Twitter disguising himself as a Taliban named Donhammed Trumpistan ..
