A user also understands a Skype client or a bittorrent plugin.
Maybe he even understands a Jabber client.

The choice of tools is not limited by mental capacities yet.
The question is how much are you intending to through encryption,
thus privacy, out of the window.

And it doesn't really give them all that much advantage, if all
private information is still traveling the net unencrypted or
lying on ISP commodity hard disks ready to be harvested.
