Edward Snowden explains: The Central Intelligence Agency or the CIA participates in the social networking game by publishing tweets with puppies and animations.
CIA Director Gina Haspel recently announced it American spy service said the US intelligence agency would create an account at Instagram.
However, Edward Snowden, one of the CIA and NSA or NSA collaborators, reports that this is an attempt by the US intelligence agency to fix its image, after the leaks of too many damning documents in 2013, which revealed a host of violations by the Government of USA.
Snowden told Motherboard that the revelations of mass data collection have changed public sentiment and turned it against the activities of the intelligence agencies, and perhaps the agencies have decided to turn the page. No, don't think we'll see law-abiding people anytime soon secret services.
Snowden says that after the above, they thought: "Maybe the history of 2013 shows us that what we should do instead of trying to change the laws is to be more flexible, more hospitable, so that we can finally do that. which we want. What we have here is a PR issue (ie: Public relations.
For these very reasons, the Secret Service (the NSA was once known as the “No-Such-Agency”) turned to Social Networks.
"They have Twitter accounts and now Instagram accounts (with) puppies and all that, because they want to be friendly. They want to be by your side, "said Snowden.
Ironically, the NSA was facing problems with the recruitment of new hackers after the Snowden leaks, since young researchers as well as large software companies were starting to move away from the secret services.
To see if an Instagram account helps the CIA image, the NSA can also get it.
