I didn't mean to imply that a blockchain is a good solution here.

And in a system where it's considered sometimes desirable to erase inconvenient history, an immutable ledger doesn't help with that.

The 21st century in the Western world has taught us that we don't need to physically erase inconvenient history, you just need to shout the new version of history loudly enough.

George Orwell was mistaken when he thought that anyone would care about facts, figures, and how much sugar was rationed every week. You just need to tell people that it's raining while you piss on them, and they'll believe you.
