Taliban government sources told BBC Afghan that information on various Afghan social media platforms has been restricted. According to authorities at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, filters have been used to limit specific kinds of content on websites like Facebook, Instagram, and X. The specific types of posts that are filtered are unclear. Some Kabul social media users told the BBC that they can no longer watch videos on their Facebook accounts, and Instagram access has also been blocked.

That will be disheartening for the people. They cannot connect and do usual activities online. Hoping it will be connected again after a truce is dealt.
