Afghanistan Internet Blackout: Taliban Vows To Stamp Out Immoral Activities

AFGHANISTAN – Afghanistan’s internet and mobile telephone services were down nationwide on Tuesday for the second day running, but the Taliban administration offered no immediate explanation.

In the past, the Taliban have voiced concern about pornography online, with authorities having cut fiber-optic links to some provinces in recent weeks, as officials cited moral concerns.

Connectivity was cut in phases on Monday, with the final stage affecting telephone services, which share infrastructure with the internet.
