I looked through that wikipedia article as well as citations and related articles, but I can't see any logical connection between freedom of speech and right to privacy. Even though the passage mentions both in adjacent sentences, there is no logical relation. The only possible connection is that speech could be made over the Internet, and privacy could be affected by the Internet, which is tenuous at best.

There is something to be said about anonymity (or lack thereof) and free speech, but I believe anonymous free speech was never a guaranteed right -- the courts always tried to balance the right to anonymous free expression with other rights, such as the rights of those who might be harmed by that expression (e.g. in cases of defamation, fraud, etc.)
