Any proofs for this?
OpenPGP (probably not targeted for the masses)
        => still okay and secure
X.509 (absolutely targeted for the masses)
        => inherently broken (unless of course one trusts the Mozilla
           CAs, e.g. turktrust and CNNIC O:-) )

XMPP (*intended* for the masses, but basically failed (actually, mostly
     thanks to the big players and greedy companies like wotzapp)
     => well, at least people have their freedom
Skype,Hangouts,Wotzapp (targeted for the masses, backed as such by the
                        big players)
                       => people completely surrender to the vendors and
                          their conditions (and don't these typically
                          even include that the vendor may do basically
                          anything he likes with the data, including
                          selling it?)

Cheers,
Chris.
