A huge communications blackout has hit Afghanistan after Taliban authorities began severing fibre-optic connections in several provinces to prevent “vice”.
“A nationwide telecoms blackout is now in effect,” said Netblocks, a watchdog organisation that monitors cybersecurity and internet governance.
“We’re now observing national connectivity at 14% of ordinary levels.”
The watchdog said the incident “appears consistent with the intentional disconnection of service”.
Taliban authorities began the crackdown on internet access earlier this month, in effect shutting down high-speed internet in several regions.
Start airdropping the Starlink terminals then, eh?
Who gives a fuck what the Taliban are doing? The Afghan people had the opportunity to leave the 7th century but chose not too. Let them drown.
We have to keep tabs on them, because the same will happen here soon.
Because we are importing shit loads of fighting age males from Afghanistan.
