Hey 
- "With Steem in particular, admit it-- the fact that I don't have personal control over the blockchain means that the content isn't solely mine to control" - as long as you are the owner of the private keys to the article you have posted .. the information posted are yours and belong to you. The data is securedly stored on the blockchain and if you took a look at this post for example ... you can see it in the blockchain. any other app which connects to the steem blockchain is able to read your blogs.
you can see it from here https://steemdb.com/teammalaysia/@webgrrrl/thispostispoweredbysteempress-5sga55i9yn/data
or https://steemd.com/teammalaysia/@webgrrrl/thispostispoweredbysteempress-5sga55i9yn/ - what if one day the Steem blockchain decides to collapse, bringing all the data down with them? - thats like trying to take down skynet. you would need to literally shut down the Internet or shutdown every single witness node to bring a blockchain down.
