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

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.

Perjury

Terroristic threats

How do I remove frizz from hair?

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

False advertising

Fraud

Why do people smoke?

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.

Insider trading

Do you even realise that NASA could've hid or bury every single piece of evidence for a flat-earth and exaggerate their evidence? Have you ever question materialist scientific narratives?

Threats of violence

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.

Why did Trump call Biden and Schumer Palestinians?

Conspiracy

Revenge porn

And much, much more.

What was your first impression of The Carter V by Lil Wayne? Did it feel like 2008 Wayne, when you heard the first few songs.

Child pornography

Trade secrets

Revealing classified information

How can I showcase AI usage, like OpenAI or Claude AI, in my job application process?

HIPAA violations

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.
