Because let's say you're Tom Hanks. And you get [email protected]

Well, what's stopping someone else from adopting [email protected]?

And some platforms minimize the text size of platform, or hide it entirely. So you just might see TomHanks, and think it's him. But it's actually a 7 year old Chinese boy with a broken leg in Arizona.

Because anyone can grab the same name, on a different platform.

Not sure what VC stands for.....

But the Chinese boy with the broken leg is my 103 year old grandmother in a wheelchair. But he's not actually Taylor Swift, which is the point of the comparison.
