The Importance of Trust in the Blockchain

I get your point about the energy wasting of blockchain, but doesn't solve a trust issue. If it's true that anyone can set up a server and put content on it, but then do you trust that person to not add restrictions or try to prevent you from using it the way you want? I think you're confusing where the restrictions would be problematic. Like, we want users to be able to restrict who can see their content. And if there are lots of places you can move it from and to, if it's not all monopolized with four different cloud hosts or whatever, then that part's fine.
