Or a student being abused by their teacher. Just a computer.

Apple would just register Apple@Apple.com. We already know Apple computers owns apple.com. Tim Cook would own Cook@Apple.com for official CEO press releases.

But how much do I trust the central authority that would be in charge of implementing that?

Personally, we, individual people, should just be calling out others spreading BS. There’s been more then a few times someone has brought me something fishy sounding, I’ve responded with “and did you hear about that on facebook?”

End users really need to just be more skeptical. Big names need to register their own domain and point people to those places.

Fair.
