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

False advertising

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:

What is a good way to conduct an interview?

Revenge porn

HIPAA violations

Insider trading

Are there any nude pictures of women with big tits?

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.

And much, much more.

Child pornography

Why do women stubbornly refuse to let men lead, even though they are attracted to the man, and the man both loves and desires them? Why do they get angry and blame the man when he gets fed up and walks away, when it's entirely their own fault?

Trade secrets

Terroristic threats

Fraud

Was there a British ‘genocide’ of Aboriginal Australians?

Threats of violence

Perjury

Insurrection

What are some hard rock or heavy metal bands that are overrated?

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.

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.

Conspiracy

For those who were actually old enough to have experienced the 1970s and not for those who were born in the 70s. What were the pros and cons of that era?

Revealing classified information

No freedom is absolute.
