The Swedish Security Service has created an online buzz on social media networks with its sarcastic first tweet. The Säpo agency recommended Swedes to follow its Twitter account, as it is already “following” the nation’s citizens.

“We’re on Twitter now, for safety’s sake. Follow us, because we’re following you,” read a trolling first tweet by Swedish Security Service (Säpo in Swedish), the country’s intelligence agency.

The post earned the agency over 4,500 retweets in just one day and over 23,000 people are already following the Security Service.

According to Säpo’s spokesperson, Sirpa Franzén, the idea for the agency’s first humorous tweet came from an internal competition.

“We’ve been working for the last 10 years on being more transparent. This is a part of that work,” she told the Aftonbladet newspaper, the Local reported.

För säkerhets skull finns vi nu på Twitter. Följ oss, för vi följer er.
