Hmm, you think it's clear cut that people in the US shouldn't be allowed to read whatever official statements the new government of Afghanistan decides to release? Or do you mean something different?

No, I mean it's clear cut that it's a terrorist organization. I'm the kind of person to think people should read Mein Kampf and the little red book in order to understand history, I won't argue we should prevent people to have access to knowledge.
But I get one company may want to avoid being the one hosting it.

Oh, I agree, though I have to admit I haven't read either of those.
Note, though, that the correct idea you expressed that the Taliban are a terrorist organization would be self-contradictory to anyone who defines terrorism ahistorically as non-state or unlawful violence to achieve political aims, since now the Taliban are the Afghan state and are legalizing their terrorism.
And of course, one day, it will be abused.
