Uhhh... fraud has legal definition, as does libel - these are _civil_ issues not _criminal_. That being said, the right to actually say the words is still protected and nobody is allowed to take that right away.

He can still say what he wants. Constitutional law is pretty clear that you can say what you want, but you do not necessarily have a right to how you get to say it.
Newspapers are not required to publish every single letter they get. In the same vein, Youtube has no legal obligations to anybody to let them on their platform.

Fraud is absolutely a criminal issue.
