If freedom of speech is absolute, how come it's not applied for private spaces and for the Internet?

Perjury

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Trade secrets

Why does my girlfriend keep asking me if I love her?

Revealing classified information

You have freedom to travel. If I loan you my car, I can tell you not to take it out of town, because it’s mine, you have no right to use it, and if I give you permission to use it I can tell you what you can and can’t do with it.

HIPAA violations

Why are girls supposed to have a stereotypical "hourglass" body shape, and why if you dont have an "hourglass" body shape you get treated differently? It doesnt make any sense to me.

Terroristic threats

If you’re wondering why free speech doesn’t apply to the internet, it’s because you have no right to use other people’s stuff for free.

False advertising

Why, after a divorce, would one still want to ruin the other one’s life?

Threats of violence

Insider trading

Child pornography

Why did Mark Lane harass Helen Markham during an illegally recorded telephone conversation to misidentify Lee Harvey Oswald who she witnessed as the shooter of Tippit?

No freedom is absolute.

And much, much more.

Fraud

What are Best Breakfast Places in Pune?

You have freedom of speech. If I loan you my computer, I can tell you not to use it for certain things, because it’s mine, you have no right to use it, and if I give you permission to use it I can tell you what you can and can’t do with it.

Revenge porn

Conspiracy

Why don’t people want the American Dream anymore - marriage, kids, a dog, and the white picket fence?

Insurrection

That’s what it is. You have no right to use other people’s stuff. If people let you use their stuff, they can tell you how you can use it, and they can tell you to stop using it any time they want.
