If someone were to use your name and your profile picture and register alanajoy@nostrplebs.com, then that would be a clear case of attempted impersonation. We would contact you and ask if you were trying to secure your name on our service. If you said no, we would suspend the ID. Are you suggesting that I should email the media contact at these companies and ask them if they are or are not trying to secure these names? Or would the correct path here be to wait until they would contact me about impersonation?

What if it were already taken on nostrplebs and they were to register it on nostrpurple? What would be the situation there?
but, how many people who identify as alana joy exist in the world. for me, this is definitely a deal with it when it’s an issue thing rather than trying to preempt it now.
I don’t think you should attempt to email YouTube/Tesla, more like request proof of company association from the user who registered with Nostr Plebs. Alternatively, you accept it and if/when you’re contacted by YouTube/Tesla you address it then. Though even then you’d need a way to request legitimacy.
Any company trying to verify themselves should just use their own domain…
