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.

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Conspiracy

Who was the guy that had sex with the AIDS monkey?

And much, much more.

Insider trading

Revealing classified information

13 Cool New Gadgets to Keep on Your Radar - Gear Patrol

Insurrection

Revenge porn

False advertising

What are some sad truths about life?

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.

HIPAA violations

Fraud

Have you been with a stranger yet?

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.

Perjury

Threats of violence

I committed the unpardonable sin. God immediately punished me so that I can no longer think like before and my brain is as if paralyzed and does not work. I've tried everything (confession, repentance, etc.) nothing helps. Any advice?

Child pornography

Trade secrets

No freedom is absolute.

Why do some men love sucking cocks?

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
