On a serious note, the "Tesla" and "YouTube" accounts that were just registered on NostrPlebs.com may be a violation of our Terms of Service. We do not allow impersonation. That said, if Telsa or YouTube would join Nostr, they would use their own domain names for recognition. So, my question to my fellow Nostriches, is this actually impersonation? I appreciate you thoughts on this.

Easiest approach is for these companies to add a TXT data with a public key on their website domain that matches the one being used here. This way places like iris can verify that they are the owners of that account.

I actually really like this, except the fact that companies would just add their own NIP-05 to their own domain before editing DNS records to make a third-party NIP-05 work.
