Passwords.  If the tweet comes from @Sanhedrin, then it was sent by
someone with access to that account.  And of course if the kiddush
hachodesh took place during the week it would surely be recorded and
put up on www.sanhedrin.gov, where we could all see it and recognise
the people, and know it was genuine.   Forging that would be much
harder than climbing a mountain and setting fire to a pile of wood
that's already there.
