They started imposing new laws for the media, torturing and arresting journalists. The media workers were confused and a number of famous people who worked for the western media managed to get out of Afghanistan in any way. Others stayed in the country and hoped to continue their work as usual.
As is obvious to all, the media is a bridge between the people and the government of each country.
Unfortunately, with the fading of this relationship, no one can raise their voices, which is the reason for the lack of support from the United Nations and the world’s media institutions.
The Taliban government should create a comprehensive procedure by combining Islamic laws and media laws in which the rights of no male or female journalist are violated.
The only reason why people cannot freely express their voices to the world is fear of the Taliban and the current government
So, in my opinion, many equations are necessary to be created to be effective and useful in improving the media. For example, the government should become more flexible in the field of broadcasting news and content. It means to let people spread what they want except what is against our religion. Individuals and organizations should also try not to spread what is against the religion and government policy.
In my opinion, this is impossible because the Taliban do not want women to appear in the media at all.
In a country where the media and people’s voices are silenced, unfortunately, that country will forever remain in darkness and ignorance
As the media censorship is of the huge problem since long time, several measures can be taken to decrease instances of censorship and ensure an accurate portrayal of events. These measures include:
Firstly we can say, Protecting Journalists and Sources: Ensuring the safety and security of journalists is crucial. Providing training, equipment, and legal protections can empower Journalist to report without fear of reprisals. Protecting the anonymity of sources is also essential to encourage whistleblowers and insiders to share information.
This problem start from 2021 in our country. One of the biggest problem in Afghanistan . I think the media delimited by taleban . Media are under pressure of this situation and this country they are in danger. Because they have fair from this government to delimited their live and family live and censor. Military and governmental news are censor until . But people should aware from every accidents around the country. This country belong to people. Technology day by day improve but it’s the place of regret to censorship continue until .
Secondly we can say Promoting Freedom of the Press: Enacting and upholding laws that protect freedom of the press is fundamental. Governments and international organizations can advocate for press freedom and condemn any attempts to censor or suppress media outlets.
As the Taliban do not believe in freedom of speech so the international Organization should talk to them and aware them of freedom of press, if they don,t accept the freedom of speech so the international organization should follow other ways For accepting freedom of press of Taliban.
Censorship contain various reasons such as political, socialist, religious, cultural, democracy. But in Afghanistan media censorship has increasing political factor. censorship Increase in Afghanistan and people can’t be aware from original news. No one don’t know why they taleban don’t open the doors of knowledge for girls because the censor all newses and plans for girls in Afghanistan.
About 2 years up to now the doors of knowledge and schools are close for girls but no media carry the the fact . They just censor. If it well continue our country go down and it not we’ll be good fo future of Afghanistan. But media in every way should carry the truly matters for people .
So what do you think the international organization should do to salvage Journalists as they have worked for western Media and they maybe face with some huge risks?
And what are the responsibilities of international organization to decrease instances of media censorship?
This picture show the media now are under in pressure by taleban start from August after the taliban came and grap our country. Also the media are in danger about their live and their family live . I think 50% media and 50% government should do something and start work to solve the media censorship in Afghanistan in future.

Media is not only a portal of sharing information and knowledge but a weapon for altering humans mind, in the current regime the Taliban has limited the people to share their ideas specifically about the current government.
As we all know that everyone has access to internet and make less trustworthy, even some well-known platforms shares some false information, but to prevent the volume of sharing false information the social media platforms should verify account of individual about particular subject that he or she shares info, and also to make it more accurate the poster should provide proof if possible otherwise should provide reasonable reasons.
It is also impossible for them to eliminate half of the society, and this action will cause the world community to never recognize this government.
In my opinion, Pressure on the Taliban through international organizations and other governments can reduce censorship in Afghanistan.
disagree because if we do not care about it, no one can do anything for us.
