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

Trade secrets

Terroristic threats

Threats of violence

Just sitting at home with this huge cock. Who can take care of it for me?

Perjury

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Insider trading

Undercover cops in New York are riding the subways with iPods on to entice robbery. Is that a form of entrapment? If not, why not?

Fraud

HIPAA violations

False advertising

Is it recommended to leave a note in a lost wallet asking for it to be returned?

And much, much more.

Child pornography

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.

Why do I feel so lazy every time I get into my room?

Revealing classified information

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.

Is Florida now unsurvivable because it's an oven due to climate change? It's 11:48 am on May 30th and the heat index in SoFla is 100. I can see it going up to over 130 by July.

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.

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.

No freedom is absolute.
