I fail to see how any of those has anything to do with the blockchain.wasn't "the cloud" supposed to do decentralization too? hmm
I'm not sure re-implementing on a blockchain has the same effect, unless they're farming processing out to third-party actors at no cost somehow.
perhaps blockchains can be used to immutably timestamp events like political speeches, to create an authoritative historical record?

perhaps content rights could be managed on a blockchain?
also consider this lightning network related effort: https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-meets-netflix-laolu-buildin...
So it’s not "combat fake news" but rather "create an authoritative historical record of events’ timestamps". I’m not sure how the blockchain is in any way useful for the latter. I feel like we’re trying to force blockchain into every imaginable field without even thinking about it.
> consider the following efforts
Landings full of buzzwords are not "efforts". Like another commenter pointed out, it’s the whole "let’s do X, except in the cloud" thing all over again.

Ditto. "let's do content rights, except in the blockchain".
