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

Insurrection

Perjury

Revenge porn

Why do girls in Indian top colleges wear shorts?

No freedom is absolute.

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.

Terroristic threats

What’s the worst thing you caught anyone in your family doing?

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.

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.

Child pornography

Why do men date women they are not really interested in?

Fraud

Conspiracy

Insider trading

Why do some people never get to on a date even though they wanted to? Are they just too ugly and weird for everybody?

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

False advertising

Revealing classified information

Can you tell me something about yourself?

Trade secrets

HIPAA violations

Threats of violence

Do you believe that it is right that one Federal judge can block a President's decisions?

And much, much more.

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.
