In case you live under a rock, the Central Intelligence Agency now has a Twitter account, so yes, they really are watching you.
While many people found the account funny, especially after it’s first tweet, others are none too happy with an agency known for secrecy having a place on social media.
Either way, it’s not surprising that everyone on, you guessed it, Twitter, had something to say about the new account.
The CIA’s first tweet was pretty on point.
We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet.

It wasn’t long before everyone got suspicious.
.@CIA You have a way of following me on Twitter without it showing up on your follower's list … right? Come on …. fess up.

I'll follow the CIA on Twitter, IDGAF!

Then, most people caught on.
For accuracy, we should change @cia twitter profile to say: "Followers: 524.7k, Following: Everybody".

The @CIA joined Twitter today, and already have 200,000 followers. Not that impressive given that THEY are following EVERYONE.

Introductions were made.
Welcome to twitter @CIA! Although we've never "officially" met, I hear we run in the same circles.

And some were very upset not to get a follow back.
Come on, @CIA , just follow me back. That's the way twitter works. I'm a movie star for crying out loud! I do nefarious stuff!

More importantly, we can’t wait to see what Homeland has in store.
I can't wait for next season of Homeland, when Carrie has a passionate affair with the ironic hipster who runs the @CIA twitter account.
