still in the process of being defined.... it will be even longer before it can be enforced.... basically, anything that does not violate other laws.
attempting to perform lewd acts with a minors the biggest exception now being enforced.
attempting to incite violence is against the law, but is often tricky to prove.
dispensing confidential information is illegal. if government or corporate, they will get you.... if in an attempt at identity theft, the police will try. if email address.... you will be getting more spam.
the flames, the trolls, slander, and the like is technically illegal, unless you reveal your true name (how the bloggers get away with it.) but so far is usually only enforced by Internet admins.
if you are wondering if you can say something, you probably should not (morally), but so far, most enforceable situations are only things you should not have to ask about.

There is no such thing as on-line speech. Speech refers to the SPOKEN word. Anything on-line would fall under 'Freedom of the Press'. Remember, if you are using someone else's website, THEY have the right not to publish what YOU want.

Any that is legal in everyday life(no making threats, inciting panic, infringing on others rights, etc...), but if you are exercising it on a privately owned website, they have the right to limit it in whatever ways they see fit.
