liber-net Announces Release of Comprehensive Report on Digital Free Speech Legislation and Legal Actions Across the 50 U.S. States
liber-net is proud to announce the publication of its latest report, detailing the status of digital free speech-related legislation and legal actions across the 50 U.S. states from 2019 to the present. This report is the culmination of several months of dedicated legal and legislative research, offering a new look into the evolving landscape of free speech in America. With lawmakers and courts grappling with issues surrounding speech rights, censorship, misinformation, and content moderation, this report serves as a resource for policymakers, legal professionals, and engaged citizens alike.
The full report is available now on our website, offering a comprehensive analysis of the key bills, court rulings, and major figures involved in shaping free speech policies across the nation. Details on legal and legislative activity in each state can be accessed by clicking on the map on the landing page, or by selecting from the list of states.

Each bill covered in the full report includes essential details such as:
- The year the bill was introduced
- A link to the official bill page on the state legislature’s website
- The bill number, the lead sponsor, and their party affiliation
- The current status of the bill
The full report also highlights key policymakers who have been instrumental in shaping the future of free speech. These individuals include legislators who have either successfully passed speech-related bills or have introduced multiple pieces of relevant legislation, whether in favor of free speech protections or advocating for more restrictions. The report also spotlights attorneys general who have been especially active in free speech-related battles.
Several state attorneys general have been at the forefront of defending free speech, taking action through amicus briefs, leading multi-state lawsuits, and making public stands on issues like content moderation and online platform regulation. Their efforts in these high-profile legal battles have not only shaped the interpretation and enforcement of free speech rights at the state level but have also played a pivotal role in influencing national policy and the broader legal landscape.
As free speech becomes an increasingly critical issue in public discourse, it is more important than ever to understand the laws and legal mechanisms that govern this right. Our report offers a balanced, comprehensive look at these mechanisms, helping readers gain a clearer picture of the policies that impact their freedom of expression.
Whether you’re an advocate for free speech, a legal professional, or simply a concerned citizen, this report provides valuable insights into the current state of free speech in America and what it means for the future. We hope this research effort will help bring some clarity to this complex maze of federalism at a time when free speech faces extraordinary threats across the globe.
