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
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.

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

Insider trading
Fraud
Revealing classified information
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.
