In an unlikely turn of events today, the Central Intelligence Agency announced that they were finally embracing the world of social media.
Yes, it is official – or at least that’s what they’ll have us think – the C.I.A. have joined both Twitter and Facebook.
Under the inconspicuous Twitter username @CIA their first tweet comes just a few days after the agency opened a Facebook page.
In a statement on their website the C.I.A., who are already active on both Flickr and YouTube:
“Follow us on Twitter @CIA and on Facebook for the latest CIA updates, #tbt (Throwback Thursday) photos, reflections on intelligence history, and fun facts from the CIA World Factbook.”
We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet.
