Yes, a properly decentralised network is just a digital printing press, printing new pages of transactions people send to it. The transactions only have the value that people ascribe to them.
The First Amendment protects freedom of the press so any attempt to impose licensing or other restrictions on this would breach the First Amendment.
I am surprised that neither Telegram nor Kik ran this argument in their disputes with the SEC, but I suppose they weren't properly decentralised.
Corporations don't know how to decentralize ownership because they are too greedy.
