A child from the United States led to a confusion over the weekend by posting an unintelligible tweet on the official account of US Strategic Command. Some social-media users got scared that the account may have been hacked. Twitter user Mikael Thalen shared the image of the tweet as he wrote, “Filed a FOIA request with U.S. Strategic Command to see if I could learn anything about their gibberish tweet yesterday. Turns out their Twitter manager left his computer unattended, resulting in his "very young child" commandeering the keyboard”
He further wrote, “Shoutout to the FOIA officer at USSTRATCOM who provided this response just 4 hours and 42 minutes after I filed”. After realising the confusion, US Strategic Command took to its official Twitter handle and said that the department is sorry for any sort of confusion. The department further urged the people to disregard the post. Let’s have a look at the tweets.
