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

Perjury

Revenge porn

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.

Threats of violence

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.

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Insurrection

Terroristic threats

Trade secrets

When you visit a store, do you go to shop or buy?
