The Taliban spokesman on Tuesday mockingly responded to a question about whether their government would respect freedom of speech - telling the journalist to ask Facebook.

The Taliban is banned from Facebook and its subsidiaries WhatsApp and Instagram, as well as TikTok and YouTube - but it is allowed on Twitter.

Zabihullah Mujahid, who has 310,000 followers on Twitter, was asked about the Taliban's plan for freedom of speech.

'This question should be asked to those people who are claiming to be promoters of freedom of speech who do not allow publication of information,' he replied.

'I can ask Facebook company.'

Mujahid's remarks were commended by Donald Trump Jr, who retweeted the 30-second video clip and said, 'LOL ... Also not wrong.'

I commend this Taliban for this epic response.

Where's this foolish journalist when Facebook was restricting people from practising same freedom of speech? I stopped using Facebook cos of its constant ban.

Brilliant question from Taliban spokesman

Western social media giants did not respect Taliban's freedom of speech but still condemns Taliban for a crime they're yet to commit.

Western hypocrisy stinks to high heavens.

Same as Seu.n Osewa trying to condemn Taliban's restriction on freedom of speech, when he has to make us swear an oath before posting on Islamic threads here.

Talibans , Facebook and Nairaland are all in the same group... Tyrants!

Jack Dorsey, the whole world is watching you with one eye.

The only good thing is that social media is filled with the positives and the negatives,
You go in there and choose what you wanna see or read.
That is how we roll.
