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

And much, much more.

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.

Conspiracy

No freedom is absolute.

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Threats of violence

Perjury

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.

False advertising

Is it wrong that I picked to be a Christian (as a teenager/14-year-old) even with knowing all of the information about other religions/atheism?

Revenge porn
