Can Afghanistan’s underground “sneakernet” survive the Taliban?

When the Taliban captured the city of Herat on August 12th, the Taliban's invading forces were speculated to take over the city of Mazar-i-Sharif.
He says that things were more tense in Mazar, so he and other computer kars held a secret meeting to decide what to do to protect their content. The informal union of computer kars had hundreds of terabytes of data collected over several years, which was considered controversial by the Taliban.
He says that they all agreed to hide the more sinister content. In Afghanistan, the regimes come and go frequently, but our business should not be disrupted.
He doesn't worry about being discovered.

People are hiding guns, money, jewelry, and whatnot, so I am not scared of hiding my hard drives. He says they will never be able to find it. Most Taliban are living in the past, but I am a 21st-century boy.

Less than 20 years after Hamid Karzai made Afghanistan's first mobile phone call, there are nearly 23 million mobile phone users in the country. There were less than 9 million internet users by early 2021, a lag that has been largely attributed to widespread physical security problems, high costs, and a lack of infrastructural development across the country's mountainous terrain.
That is the reason computer kars like Yasin can be found all over Afghanistan. Although they sometimes download their information from the internet when they are able to get a connection, they physically transport much of it on hard drives from neighboring countries.

One of the kars who asked not to be identified by his real name said that he uses the internet at home and has five sim cards for it. The connection here is not reliable, so every month I send a 4 Terabyte hard drive to Jalalabad, and they fill it with content and return it in a week's time with the latest Indian movies or Turkish TV dramas, music, and applications.

The computer was used by Mohammad Yasin.

A phone with more than 5 gigabytes of data can be purchased for 100 afghanis, or $1. He told me in August that he had the latest Hollywood and Bollywood movies dubbed in Dari and Pashto, music from across the globe, games, and applications.
For a small fee, Mohibullah can help customers create social media accounts, set up their phones and laptops, and even write emails for them. I sell everything from A to Z. He said that everything except pornography was not included. He admitted later that he had some "free videos," but only sold them to trusted customers.
