How do you imagine making such system secure against malicous actors? I don't think it's possible, it would just open huge door for terrorism.

But yes, it is not easy since malicious data may cause more trouble than accidentally incorrect data. It probably should not be a forwarding network either, only short range p2p communication, that would hopefully limit the scope of any attack.
