A: Hey there! Did you hear about the news?
B: Not yet, what's up?

A: Well, looks like internet and phone services in Afghanistan got restored after being shut down for a while!
B: Wow, really? What happened?

A: Seems like the Taliban government was trying to ban it due to immoral content concerns, especially pornography. They even cut off some provinces since mid-September.
B: That sounds serious... And then they expanded the ban throughout the country on Monday causing trouble with flights at Kabul airport and the banking system.

A: Yeah, exactly! It's been a mess. But now it seems like things are back to normal, or so we hope. The Taliban haven't said anything about it yet.
B: That's weird... I wonder why they did it in the first place?

A: Well, UN and human rights organizations have been critical of the blackout. They say it's a threat to economic security and crucial during disasters like earthquakes that hit Afghanistan in August.
B: Wow, that's intense! I hope things get better for them over there...
