In August 2021, the Taliban made their dramatic return to power and quickly showed they're not fans of fun. Recently, they executed their first nationwide internet blackout, aiming to wipe out 'immorality'—or, in other words, streaming cat videos and TikTok dances gone rogue. This blackout paralysed the entire country's digital heartbeat, proving if you don't want people talking, just cut the wifi. A bold move that screams '2010s were a mistake.' The exact timing was deliberately vague because, apparently, authoritarian regimes run on mystery and poor PR strategies.
