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

Terroristic threats

Conspiracy

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.

Was Jimmy Carter a good President of the United States?

Child pornography

Threats of violence

HIPAA violations

Why would a man be interested in an ordinary woman while there are very beautiful and fabulous women?

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.

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.

Fraud

I can’t get any girl I want, but I can just get some not my type of girls, so I feel I’m so ugly. What should I do?

Insider trading

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.

And much, much more.

Why do people have polyamorous relationships?

No freedom is absolute.

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Insurrection

Hillary thinks we must censor or "we lose total control". Why does she demand total control?

Trade secrets

Revealing classified information

False advertising

Why, after a divorce, would one still want to ruin the other one’s life?

Revenge porn

Perjury
