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

Insider trading

HIPAA violations

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

A chemical in acne medicine can help regenerate limbs - Yahoo

Does believing in God and Satan cause schizophrenia?

Threats of violence

Trade secrets

Why would my nipples hurt when I touch them?

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.

Perjury

Revenge porn

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.

How did a computer scientist such as Geoffrey Hinton manage to win a Nobel Prize in physics when computer science already has its own Nobel Prize equivalent in the Turing Awards?

Fraud

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

How are the brains of super geniuses (like Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, Elon Musk, James Clerk Maxwell & Donald Trump) different from the average person’s brain?

Insurrection

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.
