I agree with your first sentence, but I don't see how it applies to yelling "fire" or slander. If I yell fire in a crowded indoor facility, what part of that encroaches on another person's freedom? People have the freedom to respond to that as they see fit. They have the choice of staying where they are or reacting to it and running. And if I speak or write lies about someone, how does that encroach on their freedom? It may tarnish their reputation, but it doesn't affect their freedom to act in any way, does it?

I guess they are still free to respond how they see fit to someone yelling fire, however a total stranger yelling fire in a panicked manner certainly creates a situation that could put people in imminent danger, ie. a crowd of people trying to run out one set of double doors and trampling others.

Knowingly speaking or writing lies is malicious by nature. It could affect their freedom by limiting it if everyone believes that what you are spouting is true; you obviously have to be in some kind respected position in the first place.
