Those are the only two instance of "target" in the text on http://neveragain.tech/ http://neveragain.tech/. There is no context on the pledge and that's what they are asking people to sign.
Governments target individuals for a broad number of entirely valid reasons, for healthcare, social services or law enforcement. Some genetic diseases are racial or ethic - if a new genetic disease is discovered, is a national health service obligated to or discouraged from contacting members of that racial group? Scientology is a "religion" that has had a sketchy background, should we make it impossible to build a database to track members?

- anigbrowl 10y agoI'm not above the occasional cheap shot.

- aptwebapps 10y agoTo be honest, if I'd read further down the thread first I wouldn't have bothered to say that.
