Taliban Endorses Twitter Over Threads
Anas Haqqani, a senior leader in the Taliban, has officially endorsed Twitter over Facebook-owned competitor Threads.
“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.”
Twitter has fallen out of favor with many people since Elon Musk took over the company last year...The Taliban, however, seems to love it. Two Taliban officials even bought blue verification check marks after Musk started selling them in January.
Haqqani noted that the biggest draw of Twitter was this lax moderation policy...Facebook and TikTok both view the Taliban as a terrorist organization and disallow them from posting. It’s a ban that persists to this day.
Dear lord...
This comment made me open an incognito window and type in gab.com and I can assure you "Dear lord" is an understatement
The top post is a horrifyingly racist diatribe by an "American of Japanese descent" then the second post is Tru*mp insisting that 'ol Joe has a coke problem
WTF
I tried it too, but it seems my pihole already has that domain fully blocked. Probably for the best.
Phew, good little pihole!
I'm halfway through setting one up but having trouble with it potentially buggering up my streaming TV box that came with the router. Wife will kill me if she can't watch her Poirot
you should be able to whitelist devices. Or alternatively have it running without a blocklist and check what domains the box needs, then whitelist them.
