These CHILDREN!
An unintelligible tweet made by U.S. Strategic Command LAST Sunday was produced by...
... WAIT FOR IT...
... a small child.
That's right. A KID. Some TOT.
USSTRATCOM, which is responsible for the U.S. nuclear arsenal, stirred confusion after releasing a tweet that appeared to be gibberish: “;l;;gmlxzssaw.” The tweet was deleted shortly after. USSTRATCOM issued an apology in a follow-up tweet and asked users to “disregard” the previous post.
After the tweet Twitter users began joking that the agency had inadvertently sent out a nuclear launch code. The tweet was even used by followers of QAnon to further their conspiracy theory.
USSTRATCOM’s FOIA officer said in a statement: “The Command’s Twitter manager, while in a telework status, momentarily left the Command’s Twitter account open and unattended. His very young child took advantage of the situation and started playing with the keys and unfortunately, and unknowingly, posted the tweet.”
AVERT A WORLD WAR: DO NOT LET THESE KIDS. DO NOT LET THEM PLAY WITH YOUR WORK COMPUTER, LAPTOP, TABLET OR PHONE! SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING.
We've been warned, First World. We've been warned...
