Certificate Transparency is an anti-monitoring tool, amongst other useful
properties.

The more generalised idea of a public, verifiable log of stuff is probably
useful in other ways, too.

For example, DNSSEC Transparency (OK, hardly much different from CT).

Someone mentioned default encrypting emails: sparse Merkle trees are an
efficient data structure for making a verifiable map of email addresses to
public keys...

Yes, I have a hammer and I am looking for nails.
