Then the company can do the liability minimization dance when the FBI comes and points out that they are running a cheap data service for foreign spies. "We, uh, had no idea..."

But what should large tech companies do? Avoid hiring people from certain countries/heritages? Obviously that's not fair and not a good look. Same for putting extra monitoring on them. This is independent of Twitter apparently trying to downplay this and cover it up, which of course is wrong. It just seems like preventing this is really tough unless you state "we won't hire anyone who's lived in, was born in, or whose parents are from China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, or Russia", which is untenable.
They likely have already had such monitoring in place for years, and are probably augmenting it now. It just didn't work.
