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

Revenge porn

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.

Why is blood sugar ranging from 70-180 in a day and checked through a glucometer?

Terroristic threats

Revealing classified information

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.

Is it true that all men want a woman who looks like an Instagram “model”?

Fraud

Child pornography

Conspiracy

Why does it smell so bad? I noticed that when I move around my vagina has a stench. It’s usually a wet liquid, almost like pee. There’re little to no discharge and it doesn’t hurt or itch.

HIPAA violations

Insider trading

No freedom is absolute.

How will Israelis respond to someone claiming that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, in the same way as anti-feminism not being misogyny and opposing same-sex marriage not being homophobia?

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Perjury

Insurrection

Why would an older small breed dog become obsessive about hygiene?

False advertising

Threats of violence

Trade secrets

Why do trans people get so deeply offended when a stranger misgenders them, especially when it's a first encounter? I've been socially transitioned for 4 years and it just feels like a waste of energy to be so hurt by it.

And much, much more.

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.
