Rogue FBI Twitter Bot dumps months of FOIAs, causing controversy
Found on Ars Technica on Friday, 04 November 2016
According to an FBI official, the flood of tweets occurred because of a backlog of updates dating to June. The logjam finally broke when a content management system software patch was installed last week.
The documents linked in the Twitter posts that were already queued for posting dated back several months. When the software was updated, the backlog was suddenly, automatically, cleared in a spew of tweets.
The documents are released in a standard FOIA process,; complaining about the timing doesn't really make much sense.
