The stats are staggering for a first-ever Tweet, but one would expect nothing less when the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency decides to join Twitter. Launched on Friday, the CIA now has 382,000 followers and counting.

“We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet,” the U.S. intelligence agency tweeted on Friday at 10:49 am. The tweet was retweeted more than 213,000 times and favorited by more than 122,000 people.

Sorry amateur spies and bad guys, the CIA has already confirmed that it will not be sharing classified information via Twitter.

“Thank you for the @Twitter welcome! We look forward to sharing great #unclassified content with you,” the spy agency tweeted Friday evening.

So, who is the CIA following? No one unexpected. The White House, the Twitter accounts of all the U.S. Armed Forces, the FBI, NASA and several others.

The CIA’s decision to join Twitter was met with mixed response.

“Welcome to Twitter! Can’t wait to work with you on [REDACTED] :-)” the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency tweeted.

Some, however, were not amused.

“The CIA’s first Tweet would be funny if it weren’t for the agency’s use of torture and extrajudicial executions,” Zeke Johnson, Director of Amnesty International USA’s Security and Human Rights Program, said in a statement obtained by ABC News. “They should put as least as much effort into following the law as they do into social media. The full truth about the CIA torture and drone strikes should be made public immediately and those responsible for crimes held accountable.”

What do you think of the spy agency’s decision to join Twitter?
