A few years ago I engaged with North Korea in direct, high-level conversations on one of the the most secure international communication networks known to man: Twitter. Back in 2010, North Korea launched an official Twitter account, @uriminzok. This was the first presence the secretive nation had on social media, and I thought, “Wouldn’t it be fun to get North Korea to tweet at me?” So, using Google translate I simply asked: “What is your YouTube account?”
