Taliban’s Internet Blackout: Afghanistan’s Ultimate 'Disconnect' Therapy

In a grand gesture of digital doom, the Taliban executed a near-total internet blackout across Afghanistan, effectively turning the country into a no-WiFi zone, freezing both local chatter and foreign Twitter rants. This blackout isn’t just a tech glitch; it’s a morality crackdown so tight that even your spam emails can’t sneak through. The move cuts out dissent like a bad magician vanishing his assistant — but here, the assistant is free speech and the magician is paranoia. Newspapers and Zoom calls everywhere must be rejoicing silently as history repeats 'dial-up slow' trauma on steroids.
