On its own Twitter profile, the social network revamped its logo to show the bird mascot wearing a face cover, as well as set its location to “everywhere, wearing a mask.”
“The only thing we want going viral is this Tweet #WearAMask,” it tweeted.
The company also seemed to ridicule people who can’t follow simple steps with a foolproof emoji guide on how to put on a mask: don’t wear it like an eyepatch, don’t dangle it from your ear—just cover your mouth like a normal person.
Across America, the tech giant put up billboards of real, snarky tweets from frustrated users. “I love masks… I can finally talk to myself in peace,” says an ad in Chicago. “People who wear a mask are considered more attractive, remember that,” another reads.
Twitter shared in its new profile bio, “It’s not like we’re asking you to wear pants.”
