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?
