  Besides the IRS who could give them that info?

  The users themselves, in their stupidity, like every single time in the past.

    Then that data is going to be unreliable, because people will embellish and outright lie when sharing.

      I mean how would this work though, even assuming that technology hurdle is cleared (definitely doubting it)?

      The Twitter app has to request camera use and then ask the user to do that. What possible benefit would there be for the user?
