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

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.

Perjury

What do you think about Vivian Jenna Wilson's decision to speak out against her father, Elon Musk, in a public interview with NBC News?

Terroristic threats

No freedom is absolute.

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.

Should Trump pardon Andrew Tate when he wins the 2024 election?

Revenge porn

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Conspiracy

Quae illo minus voluptatum fugiat ea quaerat qui.

HIPAA violations

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.

Trade secrets

Why can’t conservatives accept the fact that they are stupid?

Threats of violence

Child pornography

Insurrection

Snakes in the yard … maybe more in the future - ironmountaindailynews.com

Insider trading

Fraud

Revealing classified information

How exactly do things get smuggled into prison? Does the sender hide it inside something else very well? Does someone put it in their butt? Do the prisoners make deals with the officers?

False advertising

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.
