Forget scraping. I can't read Twitter, as I don't have an account. A normal person is now locked out of SSA communications unless they sign up for Twitter.

Exactly this. If it's a novel test, it might cost $50,000 a person to do the test, while if it's mainstream and your doing millions, it might cost $50. Doing the test on one person at $50k may prevent you from ever having to reach
