We call one solution "practical concordance" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Practical_concordance).
The problem is that Americans in discussions with people from other countries usually take "free speech trumps everything" for granted, which is a local peculiarity that no other legal tradition I know of is sharing.
This just simply isn't true. Most rights do not violate anyone else's rights. My right to privacy, right to fair trial, etc. all do not require any violation of your rights. Similarly my to free speech doesn't violate any of your rights. I cannot violate your right to privacy using my right to free speech unless either you have already violated it yourself by releasing your information, OR I have committed a crime, in which case the crime has violated your rights, not the free speech.
But a right to be forgotten for me necessitates that if you have information on me publicly accessible on the web, your site has to be hidden or removed. That's elevating my right to be forgotten over your right to free speech.
Your right to privacy conflicts with my right to express myself freely, e.g. by entering your bedroom.
As one example.
Of course, if you define rights as what is left after all balancing has already been done, no conflicts arise. That's not very interesting.
This is nonsense. Right to express yourself does not mean right of going anywhere you want.
You're inventing non-existent rights to claim that they are violated. That's not how it works.
We have actual rights that are defined by law, those are the ones I'm talking about.

I'm sorry but that is senseless. Elevating certain rights over others is effectively the basis of any society. To use a crass example: it's widely accepted that your right to not be assaulted is elevated over another's right to assault you.
How is that related to the argument that some rights are indeed elevated versus different rights?
I'm talking about actual rights, not fictitious insane rights like a right to punch people.
At least, I think this is the logic. Not sure if self-defense counts as assault in a legal sense. A similar argument probably applies to police hitting people as well as forms of consensual violence.
