I'm sorry if I'm completely off but wouldn't the storage of this type of data (public records) be a very compelling use-case for blockchains?

  Blockchains kinda stink for broadcast because you can't store tons of actual data on them, just a hash of your data. They're very good for an irrevocable log of small facts. What does work is if you can find a bunch of servers or networks like IPFS or BT or what have you, publish your censorship-prone data there, and then just publish the hash to the block chain signed by the the author's key. You'd need an index of some sort also. Then if someone wants to read the censor-prone document, they'd retrieve it from wherever they can find it, check the hash from the blockchain, and then know it was authentic.
