Google locks Afghan government email accounts as concerns grow over the Taliban tracking down their
enemies, report saysGoogle locked some email accounts belonging to the Afghanistan government following the Taliban takeover, a source told Reuters.
The report comes as concerns grow over how the Taliban might seek retribution towards those who had worked with the US government. The group has promised to grant amnesty to all, but reports from the ground appear to undermine those assurances.
In a statement to Reuters, Google did not explicitly confirm they locked certain accounts but said they were "taking temporary actions to secure relevant accounts" as they monitor the situation in Afghanistan.
Insider has reached out to Google for comment.
