Or should I say cat filters?

Yes, yes I should.

They're attributing this to human error, which could be anything from a slip of the finger and negligence to a practical joke played to a deliberate attempt to undermine the government in a micro-rebellious movement.

I don't know how it was received with regards to the people involved or what happened to the "human" in the "human error" bit but I think it lands somewhere in the middle, a little inappropriate but not a huge deal, that it was pretty funny and that if they said that it was on purpose I bet it would have made the officials seem more relatable and interesting. I mean they could call it a failed attempt to engage with the citizens but at least it'd be an attempt.
