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.

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.

Child pornography

Why are men ridiculously delusional in the women they want/approach? I'm not a troll. This is a real question. Why does a fat, pot bellied, unkempt, balding, stupid (ergo poor) man, tell a woman above his league that she isn't hot enough for him?

Conspiracy

Terroristic threats

HIPAA violations

Why would my husband cheat on me with an ugly fat woman?

Insider trading

Trade secrets

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

What are the possible reasons for people feeling depressed after the holiday season? Why does being alone exacerbate these feelings?

Insurrection

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.

Fraud

I want to touch my sister’s boobs. What do I say?

No freedom is absolute.

Revealing classified information

Threats of violence

What are some very specific groups of people you just cannot stand?

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.

And much, much more.
