The Central Intelligence Agency expanded its social media portfolio by officially joining Instagram.
“Joining Instagram is another way we’re sharing CIA’s stories and recruiting talented Americans to serve here,” CIA press secretary Timothy Barrett said. “Through the account, we’ll give a peek into Agency life, but we can’t promise any selfies from secret locations.
