Taliban ban on tiktok and pubg misleading youth

Since the Taliban came to power last year, people have had little means of entertainment. 

The Taliban have banned the video sharing app TikTok and the shooting game PubG. 

The Taliban announced the ban on Thursday, saying it was misleading Afghanistan's youth. 

These mobile apps are very popular among Afghans. 

Since the hardline Taliban came to power last year, people have had little means of entertainment, as they have banned music, movies and TV dramas, the government cabinet said in a statement. 

"These apps are misleading the youth and the Ministry of Telecommunications has been ordered to shut them down," he said. 

Although news and religious content are rarely broadcast. 

Although the Taliban promised to govern more moderately than their first government from 1996 to 2001, they have gradually begun to impose suffocating restrictions on social life, especially on women. 

Women have been barred from every government job.

Most girls' secondary schools have closed, while women have closed all government jobs. 

She can't even travel from one city to another and abroad alone without her husband. 

The government of ousted former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has also tried to ban the PubG game. 

Only 9 million people in the country have access to the Internet. 

There are 4 million social media users in Afghanistan, of which Facebook is the most popular. 

The Taliban had banned kite flying and pigeon racing in the previous regime.
