> does any one really think "free speech" should include the right to that kind of speech?
Some do propose this, most don't.
> the question is, where to draw those limits? How to balance freedom of speech with other freedoms (such as freedom from defamation, freedom from fraud, freedom from privacy invasion, freedom from perjury, etc)?
- freedom from defamation, provide a justice system where truth is the ultimate defence (as common law states have - it could be improved though)
- freedom from fraud, already covered by contract law and caveat emptor
- freedom from privacy invasion, that is part of free speech (you choose who you share information with, hence, privacy is implied and necessary)
- freedom from perjury, there are laws against perjury in common law
