Using a private blockchain has the same issue of trusting a third party. As soon as someone has control of who can write to the ledger, you need to trust them, period.

A lot of people would assert that "private blockchain" is an oxymoron. The semantics have not resolved yet.

I expect that they will resolve to exclude such things.
