The spy who came from social media: the British secret services land on Instagram

LONDON – Once it was a world so secret that no one even knew the address of its headquarters and its leaders were indicated in the newspapers only by a capital initial. But times change and with them also the 007, so the Mi5 has decided to land on Instagram. “What we do must remain top secret,” says its director Ken McCallum, “but we want to raise awareness of who we are and social media can help us in this task.”
