However Twitter is reported to be rejecting the move after pointing out that unlike al-Qaeda, the Taliban movement is not registered by the State Department as a foreign terrorist organisation.

It seems Twitter doesn't want to restrict access to its users, especially now, since many Arab Springers were using it. Twitter may seem like a "tool of freedom" now. It probably wants to cash-in on that image for a while.
