So... TV news will just be text on a screen?
I suppose TV wouldn't make much sense under those circumstances.
But they still have TV, right? They did the last time the Taliban was in charge. I remember a news segment about it way back when the war started. The programming was mostly a bunch of religious stuff and their idea of news. So I guess no more news? Or no more TV? Or just text...
The russian way is to set up extremely restrictive laws covering everyone as guilty, so a governing body can use them to charge everyone they want. I guess, talibs learnt some of that wisdom visiting Kremlin while being a designated terrorist organization here, kek - and this status would get lifted in coming months.
I suspect some of them might still have cell phones with internet. I wonder if they'll also force people to use text images as avatars on twitter or something
I wonder if animation will filll the gaps.
I regret to inform you that animations are images
Does Afghanistan even have people able to do the volume of animation that would require?
Or I suppose it could just be little 5 second loops or whatever. One or two people could do that.
Edit: Oh! They can do it all with puppets! The Afghanistan Muppet News Night!
