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

Fraud

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.

Credit cards could blow up a carefully crafted crypto compromise - Politico

And much, much more.

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.

What are some of your shocking stories?

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Child pornography

Insider trading

How should you handle a situation where your friend tells you they like someone who also likes you? Should you tell them or continue as normal?

Threats of violence

Conspiracy

Trade secrets

If Republicans say that Biden goes to shower with his daughter, how do Democrats support it?

Revenge porn

Revealing classified information

Terroristic threats

How do Greeks identify themselves in terms of civilization? Do they feel more connected to Western or Middle Eastern civilization and why?

Perjury

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.

HIPAA violations

Why does my vagina smell sort of fishy/musty days after sex when my boyfriend ejaculates in me? There isn’t any itching or burning when urinating, so I don't think I have BV. It just doesn't smell like me.

Insurrection

No freedom is absolute.
