a twitters for asio is lame

Got news for you, been following you for years.

It's not wise for a gov institution to go on twitter and say I am spying on you . This fake account obviously could be a target to much more sefisticated hackers who could spy on them too .

Yep, Twitter is a lot more comfortable for you guys... 😂

ASIO has been on Twitter for a long time, usually posing as pro-government, pro-lockdown accounts.

Will ASIS follow suit?

A new challenge for all Australian stalkers

woollogirl Yikes!

What are they going to do, arrest world leaders fpmsl

FINALLY!!! ASIOGovAu

Is it actually ASIO? I assumed it was a new parody account...

Yes, let's follow ASIO. What could go wrong?

This really makes social media a bigger nuthouse than I first thought.

Not today, wannabe CIA 🤣
