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.

I'm pretty sure that my dog is transgender, how would I go about transitioning it?

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.

Revealing classified information

Why are men so attracted to big breasts?

Terroristic threats

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

HIPAA violations

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.

False advertising

Why can't my adopted sister accept she is not part of my family because she isn't related? Why can't she stop calling my parents mum and dad?

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.

No freedom is absolute.

Trade secrets

Why do people who were very kind and loving once become cold-hearted?
