Targeted with what? At least in the US, there has been a build up of case law over the past century and a half or so that provides vigorous protections of freedom of speech. The Red Scare is remembered as a scar on the US's past, not to be repeated. Yes, there are still people with a vigorous taste for censorship, but there's vigorous pushback against them.

This is funny because we are currently going through a red scare.
