Sure, but you don't need a blockchain for that. It could be published anywhere.

When it comes to publishing information, a blockchain is one of the least efficient ways of doing that.

It is inefficient but it absolutely provides things "anywhere" doesn't, with a much longer likelihood of surviving than "anywhere."
