The Internet, Social Media, smart phone, are a major part of the Information Operations game (influencing perceptions). Social media has become the primary source where people get their news from. They are a major collection source for intelligence services. They are a major communications channel between assets and their handlers (i.e. spies). They are a major way that opposition groups communicate with their followers and organize.
If you are Russia or China and have firewalls, a robust Intel service, your own substitute platforms, a massive infrastructure that detects, counters, blocks, a threat.
Even Iran has “some” capabilities, thanks to China. https://www.reuters.com/article/business/exclusive-huawei-hid-business-operation-in-iran-after-reuters-reported-links-to-idUSKBN23A19B/ They also sold them a lot of stuff that helped the Iranian Intel service and caused many of those opposed to this regime to lose their lives.
Afghanistan has nothing.
For a nation like that, the ONLY remaining way to push away a vast Intel threat is to take a rock and smash the phone, satellite link or computer with it. They have to limit access and control the little they do require, for all else, enjoy your Bacha Bazi.
