Which, in turn, means that users must have a means to know what filters 
are in effect.

This inability to know what is being filtered has caused significant 
concern and problems here in the US.

Many companies that do filtering, whether in software in the user's 
machine or as something inserted the network path, are often loath to 
disclose the filters - they consider them to be highly proprietary 
information.

Another potential principle of internet governance:  Every user has the 
right to know whether their traffic is being filtered and, if so, what 
those filters are.
