"fraud or threats or slander could result in legal action"

absolutely...do read the entire article...

Under a free-speech framework grounded in property and contract, the government may prohibit only speech that violates someone else's rights. That would include the speech involved in acts of fraud ("I swear, it's a Rolex") and extortion ("Give me your wallet, or I will pummel you to death"). It might include defamation and copyright violations, depending upon your view of reputation rights and intellectual property rights. But it certainly would not include hate speech, pornography, sexual harassment, truthful advertising, conspiracy, or incitement.
