FBI launches new X account to respond to user posts in real time

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has launched a new official account on X (formerly Twitter) to improve its communication with the public and respond to user posts in real time.

According to the agency, the move aims to expand its online presence and ensure faster, more transparent engagement on matters of public safety, cybercrime, and security threats.

The account will allow verified agents and media officers to address misinformation, provide updates on ongoing investigations, and share verified alerts directly with X users.

An FBI spokesperson said the initiative reflects the agency’s commitment to modernizing its public outreach efforts.

The account will operate under strict communication protocols to ensure accuracy and compliance with federal information standards.

Users will also be able to report suspicious online activities or cyber threats through official links shared from the account.
