This is completely tangential to using open communication protocols.

  Open communication protocols currently have no goal of ip protection, and by design cannot unless it's centralized.

    Once again, it's a completely separate issue. You can have a centralized service that also uses an open protocol that people can make custom clients for. Furthermore, people use stuff like Tor for anonymity with decentralized systems. Trusting a central system to keep your information private is a risk of itself.
