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

Insurrection

False advertising

Threats of violence

Why do I feel bad when I see white girls dating black guys, am I racist?

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

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.

If a person stops thinking one or two words in a second or half second means he had stopped thinking for half second?

Terroristic threats

Trade secrets

No freedom is absolute.

Can trans people tell me what the criteria for a woman is excluding self identification (facts do not rely on self belief)?

And much, much more.

Fraud

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.

Is Tinder the best dating app?

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.

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Insider trading

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

HIPAA violations

Revenge porn

Child pornography

Why do many women like tall men?

Conspiracy

Revealing classified information
