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

Terroristic threats

Trade secrets

Revenge porn

Why do some people dislike rap and hip hop music despite there being poor quality music in every genre?

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.

False advertising

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

No freedom is absolute.

Revealing classified information

Insurrection

What are the different celebrity lists (A-list, B-list, C-list, D-list)? How does one become a part of these lists and move up or down in status?

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.

Child pornography

Insider trading

One day, I happened to walk past where my crush was with friends. Then all of a sudden they start laughing, and someone maybe him, goes "freaking (my name) with her freaking hair!" Can anyone offer insights into this? We're in middle school.

And much, much more.

Threats of violence

Fraud

What should I do to stop being angered easily?

HIPAA violations

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.

Perjury

Is Trump the greatest spiritual leader since Jesus?

Conspiracy

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.
