People Are Already Tweeting The CIA Saying That They're Terrorists

Jun 7, 2014, 06:22 IST

The CIA joined Twitter today and had a few interesting first tweets.

There's plenty of room for speculation, but we've already seen someone tweeting at the CIA, saying that they're terrorists.

Normally things like that might be taken as jokes, but back in April, we already saw one teenager in The Netherlands get arrested for tweeting to American Airlines that she was a terrorist.

A user who tweeted to the CIA saying they're a terrorist, also tweeted a photo of what looks like a direct message from the CIA, saying that they take this sort of thing very seriously, and that they should delete the tweet, as per Lindsay Adler from Buzzfeed. Since then, that tweet has been deleted.

If we were to guess, we would think that the direct message screenshot was something that the user doctored in hopes of getting attention. As we saw after the American Airlines tweet, there were many copycats who were trying to get their 15 minutes of fame.

What's not a joke is the initial threat to the CIA. We'll keep you posted if there are any developments on that end.
