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

False advertising

And much, much more.

Terroristic threats

Can they start feeding only one meal to prisoners on death row or those doing a life sentence? Because only then will it be real punishment. If they want extra food they can work or pay from their own pocket.

Fraud

Threats of violence

HIPAA violations

Why do narcissists and especially covert narcissists always play the victim?

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.

Conspiracy

No freedom is absolute.

How does a man look at you when he is in love?

Revenge porn

Trade secrets

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Can you name a female actress who has had bad timing or luck in her film career?

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.

Insider trading

Perjury

Why do people turn a blind eye to bad behaviour if someone is very good looking? Whereas if someone is ugly, they get harshly judged for everything?

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

Revealing classified information

What is the lowest probability event you have personally witnessed?

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.
