There are no criminal consequences to speech in America.

Fraud is theft. Harassment is forcing a non-consenting party to listen. Libel is a civil issue, not criminal.

Cool. Let's say you are forbidden by law from posting comments on the Internet. Not because I'm limiting your speech, but because I made the law "it's illegal to make ceejayoz sad".

Come on.

The Constitution doesn't say "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, unless it is super loud late at night near sleeping people." We read that in, because we're not idiots.
