    BBC doing regime propaganda… I guess UK and US are still salty they got kicked out and that Taliban won’t collapse from within.

    The irony is there tho. Gonna being sharia like it is fucking 2025.

    Prolly loaded up with gear from China.

    God the future is going to suck big time.

      Hopefully the suck stays contained in Afghanistan at least. I’m glad we got out, not happy about what happened afterward though, or how long we stayed.

    The absolute irony of this article coming from a UK organization.

    The UK is the most surveilled country in the entire world.

    You can’t scratch yourself there, without the AI reporting how many scratches, and at what angle you scratched.

      The biggest problem with these cameras would be the fact that they are probably relatively easy to hack, especially for other enemy state actors, although none of them specifically comes to mind 😉🤐

      And despite the negative context, and possible usual fabrication involved, the only surprise in that farcical reporting for me was how the BBC let slip the fact that the Taliban are providing power and water services to the population at a level that is functional and beneficial enough for the supposed threat of withholding them to be seen as of consequence.
