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

Insurrection

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.

Revealing classified information

I’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

HIPAA violations

Trade secrets

Child pornography

What are your controversial and hot takes on Naruto?

Insider trading

False advertising

Perjury

What are some best sources of great porn?

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.

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Revenge porn

What's your wildest & weirdest fantasy?

Terroristic threats

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.

No freedom is absolute.

How would you spank me if I had been sent home from a school camp because of my poor behavior?

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.

Threats of violence

Conspiracy

Why are people becoming increasingly hostile to pro-lifers? I am pro-life.

Fraud

And much, much more.
