Twitter has rules on: Graphic media https://t.co/6tENSWHgZV Violent threats/glorification of violence: https://t.co/H39QKq5az4 Hateful conduct: https://t.co/OTFbAcV7SZ It also has a world leaders policy; more on that momentarily. — PolitiTweet.org

YouTube seems to be threading a very small needle here, but OK. That's their approach. Twitter seems to be the least prepared to address the Taliban issue; they declined to comment to us at all. But we can probably make some inferences based on their other platform policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Stuff like terrorist promotional videos, recruitment videos and hostage videos are prohibited on YouTube, and so if a Taliban account is seen posting that stuff, it's supposed to get enforced against, but hypothetically, a Taliban account not posting those things could be fine. — PolitiTweet.org

YouTube didn't answer our question about whether it factors in the Treasury sanctions list in its enforcement decision-making, but said the company has a bunch of rules around violent criminal organizations and that those rules apply to the Taliban. — PolitiTweet.org

In its initial answer to our questions, YouTube said it relied on governments to define FTOs, and linked to the State Department FTO list. Which seemed to suggest — because the Afghan Taliban is not on that list — YouTube actually is fine with the Taliban. We asked for clarity. — PolitiTweet.org

Similar to Facebook, YouTube also told CNN that it relies on government definitions of terrorist groups to inform its enforcement decisions. But unlike Facebook, YouTube does not appear to have a blanket ban on the Afghan Taliban. The platform's answers were tougher to parse. — PolitiTweet.org

State's FTO list does not include the Afghan Taliban, though it does name the Pakistani Taliban. Instead, Facebook is relying on a Treasury Department sanctions list that identifies the Afghan Taliban as a specially designated global terrorist entity. https://t.co/C61V2k4cLU — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook told us that for years, the Taliban has been banned from its platform because it's "sanctioned as a terrorist organization under US law." You might think this refers to the State Department's list of foreign terrorist organizations, but it does not. — PolitiTweet.org

As the Taliban regain control of Afghanistan, social media platforms are having to grapple anew with the organization's online presence — and their handling of it is basically all over the place. Our story, plus a bit of story about the story below. https://t.co/PIN9ZcNskI — PolitiTweet.org

@markscott82 @wexler I spent a while fact-checking all this last night. The Afghan Taliban is not on State's FTO list but is named on OFAC's current SDN list. OFAC lists it as a specially designated global terrorist entity (SDGT) but not as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO). https://t.co/RDV0iq6BtS — PolitiTweet.org
