I am reminded of Everipedia, which has it's own blockchain iirc, but it has its shortcomings, to say the least. I like the idea of decentralizing the glossary of terms & definitions for each community, and then having an aggregation algorithm on the back-end pool all the different glossaries together into one uniform format that can be indexed a la Wikipedia or Investopedia.
Un-censorable databases could easily be very life-changing, think about all the document dumps that have taken place over the past 15 years. Everything WikiLeaks puts out could be immediately indexed and protected from what has happened, which is a lot of the documents have been taken down. Same thing would apply with information about current events, such as an event being confirmed with on-the-ground reporting evidence AND a permanent place on the Hive blockchain ledger.
The same could be done for public companies wishing to establish a new level of financial transparency, by publishing their audited financials in an un-censorable database, it would be much easier to establish which companies routinely alter their financial statements and which don't.
Very exciting idea to say the least!
