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

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.

Insurrection

Revealing classified information

How rough can the ferry passage from Hull to Rotterdam be in the autumn ( at the end of October )?

Conspiracy

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.

Terroristic threats

Why would my ex block me after I blocked him?

Insider trading

No freedom is absolute.

False advertising

Is using tech to track or monitor your partner’s activities a sign of love, insecurity, or control?

Revenge porn

Threats of violence

Perjury

Am I the bitch for never wanting to talk to my sister again because of something she said while talking back to me?

HIPAA violations

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.

Fraud

Do you think some men have sex with prostitutes because they're too afraid to talk to women? Money does the talking for them.

And much, much more.

Trade secrets

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Why have cell phones, the internet, and reality TV turned the world into a toilet, as this has not advanced us in any way?

Child pornography

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.
