Back up each principle with references to previous TAG decisions/experiences

[hadleybeeman]

This one came from @danbri.

The TAG's authority or usefulness comes from our experience, our understanding of what works and doesn't work well for the web. This document is drawn from that experience, but it doesn't explicitly reference the experiences or examples that have led us to each of the principles.

Should we find a way to add them in?

(@danbri, please do expand if I haven't done your thoughts justice!)

One example that we discussed in this week's f2f: we could reference the STRINT workshop report as underpinning the statement about state surveillance.

We'd like to use this issue to collect more examples from our community, that explain why we know each principle matters. This is open to suggestions from anyone — comment in this issue.

The attempts to mandate real names for social media accounts, and the potential impact on vulnerable individuals.

It would be nicer to anchor the principles to authority beyond TAG, for example, legal cases, constitutions or bills of rights.

IMO, TAG should be citing principles that have gained widespread adoption and acceptance internationally, not inventing principles and citing themselves.
