) imposed by the Taliban administration. The shutdown began with provincial restrictions in mid-September 2025, initially targeting northern provinces, before expanding nationwide. Taliban officials cite preventing "vice" and "immoral activities" as justification for the ban, and state that the ban will remain in effect "until further notice".

The BBC reports that a committee has been established in Kabul that will decide whether to continue the ban or restore the connectivity with some form of censorship.
