As this page notes, " The Technical Architecture Group (TAG) has published First Public Draft Notes of Privacy Principles and Ethical Web Principles. These documents provide principles that should guide the development of the Web platform." It's interesting that these are separate, as so many people equate ethics with privacy. The ethical web principles is the more fundamental of these and includes such statements as "there is one web" which is "for all people", that it "should not cause harm to society" and "must support healthy community and debate". The privacy principles, meanwhile, are based on individual autonomy and collective governance. These documents are still in their preliminary stage (especially the privacy document).
