I got that when I tried to connect to various sites like google, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Why? I was using TOR. If they can't get an accurate "fingerprint" of your system so they can identify you, they'll captcha you to death. Remember, the CIA runs all these corporations and their purpose is to gather info about you and watch your activities so if you prevent them from doing that, then they don't like it very much.

As someone who creates twitter accounts for a living (SEO purposes) ... it's nothing special.
It's randomized ... sometimes they have you prove yourself before you do anything, sometimes after 50 follows, sometimes not at all. It depends on many things, including the traffic they receive from subnets close to your IP.
And it's not necessarily a conservative thing.

They do it if you exhibit behaviour similar to a suspended account from the same location I think. They did it to me but so far I'm still back on, has been two weeks+
