This might be a very dumb comment, sorry! I understand Twitter is hosted on AWS, so I'm curious why it's not blocked on my end.

Thank you for your work!!

Sorry for the very late answer, I wasn't working on this project for quite some time.
Do you have any proof that Twitter is hosted on AWS?
I've just checked their IP address and they seem to have own IP address ranges which likely means own datacenters or at least colocation, not some virtual cloud servers.
See here: https://tools.keycdn.com/geo?host=twitter.com
If Amazon offers some way to use AWS with own IP address ranges, then there's no way for Cloud Firewall to detect that it's on AWS.
If you can proof, however, that Twitter is hosted on AWS, I can hardcode their domains to AWS in the known hosts file.
