The Taliban in Afghanistan isn't/wasn't listed officially as terrorist group by the US government. The Taliban in Pakistan, however, is a terrorist organization, according to the US government.

The Taliban in Afghanistan may be morally repugnant, violent fundamentalists, but they are technically not a terrorist organization (in the context of the US)

We aren’t talking about the state department’s list, we are talking about Amazon. The Taliban are technically a terrorist organization because they commit violence in pursuit of political goals, which is the literal dictionary definition. Big tech companies, if they had ethics or even the barest level of consistency, should not be hosting them irrespective of what any state organization thinks.
