Having seized Kabul, the Taliban can tap into government databases and communications data to go after U.S. allies who don’t get out
Call records would be particularly useful to the Taliban, said Tamim Samee, an Afghan-American entrepreneur who ran an information technology company in Afghanistan in the mid-2000s.
And it goes beyond call logs. Cell phones and mobile apps share data about users with third-party apps, such as location data, that the Taliban could easily get, said Welton Chang, chief technology officer at Human Rights First, a human rights advocacy group. Afghan government offices also have troves of databases and tax records that could reveal people’s connections to U.S. or other foreign-backed efforts. International non-governmental organizations, for example, had to provide, along with copies of founding and board members’ “educational and ID documents” when registering to work in the country.
