Lol I know this isn’t a new story but it is pretty sad.

It depends on what it's being used for. If they are using it as a megaphone to announce their intentions then that can be used by the intelligence community to find other ways the Taliban is causing problems. If they're using it solely to spread propaganda and hate that is a different story and shouldn't be allowed, though the IC can use that for counterintelligence. It's a double-edged sword.

Trump just says what he's thinking and it's not always what needs to be put out to the masses. Nine times out of ten I cringed at his twitter rants. What he was saying may have been technically factual but the presentation was not something a POTUS should be saying. Should he be banned? No, but we don't make those choices.
