Would such a "Bill of Rights" include the concept that people have a 
right to be safe on the Internet, and therefore the authorities 
(whatever that implies) need the tools to rid us of criminals and 
purveyors of anti-social behaviour?

Or would it embrace the idea that everyone has a right to do whatever 
they please - even if someone perceives a harm to others?

Perhaps something in between... but where do we draw that line in the 
sand? Especially when different societies (and different people within 
the same societies) have different ideas about what constitutes harm.
