It might be helpful to quote the text without strategic elisions! It's true
that something like the G+1 button can be used for pervasive monitoring, but
that's a bit different than saying that this document is specifically targeting
Google and Google's general business model. The point is that if by
happenstance certain applications like the G+1 or FB Like button become less
valuable as a result of IETF being more proactive in preventing pervasive
monitoring, that would be an acceptable outcome.
Do you disagree with that?
