A CIA spokesperson provided Fox News with an explanation, In 2019 we started our ongoing social media series, Humans of CIA, where we share stories about real officers and their roles advancing the agency’s national security mission. Our goal is to humanize the CIA through our Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook accounts so followers can see themselves here and apply.”
