Nice and BIG topic! Make sure that you search related entries on Wikipedia before you get going so that you do not duplicate, at least no too much, what is already on there. For example, freedom of speech on the Internet is mentioned in the entry on "Freedom of Speech in the United States".

One of my concerns is that the topic is so vast that it might be difficult to cover comprehensively in one entry (but then: you could start and others could add on). One pragmatic strategy might be to start with the broader theme but then discuss two or three specific areas (e.g., cyberbullying, the application of free speech principles to private networks, or concerns about minors, or remixing culture).

A recent book addressing some of these free speech issues is: S. Levmore, M. Nussbaum (eds.) The Offensive Internet: Speech, Privacy, and Reputation, Harvard University Press, 2011.

I look forward to your work! --JMBauer (talk) 16:14, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

It's User:Carl67lp/Cyberstalking legislation but I've been doing some work offline, so it's not always the most up-to-date.

Did some modifications to Radio Act of 1912. Broke things up a bit to make things clearer and more complete. Added inline references as appropriate. Other miscellaneous changes hither and thither.

The article is streamlined and better organized, although most of it seems to have been shifting text around. Other aspects could have been added, for example, the shortcomings of the Act which lead to the passage of the Radio Act of 1927 and then the Communications Act of 1934. --JMBauer (talk) 03:05, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
