It makes me super uneasy. I can easily see this type of model being expanded and applied to more and more things.
Call for a refund because something you ordered never showed up? Wrong trust chain, you're automatically lying, refund denied.
Report someone for T-boning you? Wrong trust chain, you're now arrested for hitting them.
Etc...
As with all technology, applying it in the wrong circumstances causes more problems than not.
It's less about technology and more about evading accountability, I'd say. This would be a sort of cyberpunk version of "How dare you accuse the baron's son of tipping your cows?! He's a fine upstanding young man, so of course these accusations are groundless."
