Are the Tal eban not entitled to freedom of speech? I mean do you report the IDF or various US Military facebook fan pages too?

The situation in Afghanistan is not monochromatic and while the actions of these people are detestable what does blocking their access to facebook achieve?

I mean if Im going to be really aggressive then why arent you protesting Americas drone policy which is equally terrifying and indiscriminate.

Im not American but Americans have died for this inane concept of freedom, liberty and expression. The fact that you want to deny those staples to people you despise is telling.

facebook has explicitly stated its policy that if a page or a person is involved in violence, or offers a credible threat of violence the page will be shut down. i did not make those rules, facebook did. and these people have nothing to do with USA, TTP and Taleban are completely different entities, TTP is not involved in any freedom struggle, it just routinely kill innocent Pakistani people and never harms any american soldiers.
