Nobody can make a website with the address grannysmith.apple โ€” why? Because a company that makes computers says so. Simply absurd.

@freemo itโ€™s not, I was just looking at Appleโ€™s IP webpage and saw that they own the .apple TLD, and became reminded how much power big tech has. Like, this goes way beyond traditional trademark lawโ€ฆ

@rlamacraft What does it have to do with trademarks? apple owns the TLD, not because they own the trademark "apple" but because they applied for it witht he ICANN. If you have issue with the handling of TLDs in general the issue is more with ICANN than apple or trademarks.
