No. If anything this makes it harder for anyone to block segments of the internet, by ensuring the integrity of routing to any given netblock.

The certificate authority that signs the routes. So yeah, this will centralize control of routing and expose it to things like government censorship and corporation exploitation. Sometimes the wild west is better than an authoritarian government.
Like DNSSEC this is only good for megacorps and nationstates. If anything it will expose human people to more abuse and exploitation.
