Wow. When you've lost the Talaban who do you have, really?
From "free speech absolutist" to "free speech extremist" 😃
Pure comedy. Twitter vs threads has been extremely entertaining
Anyone remember the movie Middle Men (2009), a film based on Christopher Mallick's experience running an internet billing company that managed payments for paid porn sites? The film bombed at the box office, but there was one scene of interest which, in relevance to Haqqani's complaining is a good reminder as to why his complains about Meta are a moot point considering what happens to terrorists who use the internet. (Might be a little NSFW)

This just reinforces my opinion of the Taliban as been jerks.
Talibussy
Lol the leader of the taliban looks like a French designer
I'm not sure this is the kind of endorsement I would want.
This is like the always sunny episode where Boko Haram endorses Wolf Cola.
I'm confident that the Taliban would never endorse me and I like it that way.
So the alt-right and nazis flock to threads and the taliban endorse twitter. It just seems like losers all around.
“Twitter has two important advantages over other social media platforms,” Haqqani said in an English post on Twitter. “The first privilege is the freedom of speech. The second privilege is the public nature & credibility of Twitter. Twitter doesn't have an intolerant policy like Meta. Other platforms cannot replace it.”
I.. am out of words...
What a fucking glowing recommendation and endorsement from an absolutely reputable organization. /s
On the other hand, I feel for those engineers at Twitter. Yeah they are choosing to stay, but one, for those of them who really believe in Twitter as a tool, it's not so easy to leave it behind all because corporate leadership is acting dumb, and two, even though Twitter still looks great on a resume, switching jobs is not as easy as stopping to go work for one place on one day and starting in another the next.

Why not get those quirky Taliban guys over to America for a Twitter ad campaign, Elon. He could probably throw in a tour of Space X launch site or the Tesla car factory in Texas? (Just keep all the female employees out of sight, shh, mums the word...)
"Twitter, if it's good enough for the Taliban, it's good enough for you."
No idea why people are still buying Teslas when the Taliban are literally a fan of the CEO.
