> The inalienable right to free speech doesn't extend to defamation and fraud

You have a strange definition of "inalienable".

Not really; it's a conflict between two groups and sets of rights.

I have the inalienable right to not be defamed and defrauded.

Now we have to resolve the contradiction as a society. That it's sometimes messy doesn't mean we ditch the concept of rights.
