The Taliban official website turned offline, despite the unknown reasons

Boston: The Taliban website that delivered an official message of rebels who won to Afghanistan and the world in general in five languages ​​was offline suddenly Friday, showed an effort to put it out.
However, it is not immediately clear, why sites in Pashto, Urdu, Arabic, English, and from offline Friday.
They have been protected by CloudFlare, a content delivery network based in San Francisco and Denial-of-Service protection provider.
CloudFlare has not responded to emails and phone calls that are looking for comments about development, which was first reported by Washington Post.
CloudFlare shield prevents the public to know who is truly hosting the site.
Also Friday, Popular encrypted messaging services WhatsApp remove a number of Taliban groups, according to Rita Katz, Director of the Site Intelligence Group, which tracks online extremism.
The loss of the website is only temporary because the Taliban secured new hosting settings.
But the elimination of the WHATSAPP group reported following the ban on the Taliban account by Facebook, a service holding company, on Tuesday after the US-supported Afghan government fell to the Taliban.
Spokesman Whatsapp Danielle Meister did not confirm the removal but referred the Associated Press for the company’s statement issued earlier this week by saying that “must comply with US sanctions law.
This includes prohibiting accounts as the official Taliban account.” Katz said via email that he hoped Removal of the Taliban website is only the first step to reduce its online presence.
Unlike the Taliban 20 years ago that the US drove from power in Afghanistan, the Taliban today greatly understood the media and infrastructure of the online “inspired and mobilized” al-Qaida and other Islamic factions, Katz said.
“Technology companies have to do what they can to advance from this problem as soon as possible, because the online presence of this group triggered a jihad movement that had just been airlighted throughout the world,” he added.
Twitter hasn’t released a Taliban account and a group spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, has more than 300,000 followers there.
The company shows Tuesday that as long as the account observes the rules – including not inciting or glorifying violence – they will continue to rise.
Like Facebook, Google Google considers the Taliban terrorist organization and forbid it from an operating account.
The Taliban is not on the list of US foreign terrorist organizations, but the US has imposed sanctions at him.
