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

Trade secrets

Perjury

Insurrection

Why is the First Amendment referred to as a right to free speech instead of an immunity from punishment for one's words, regardless of their truthfulness?

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Threats of violence

Insider trading

Why do men like to have sex with a woman's ass?

Terroristic threats

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.

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.

Why don't I want to talk to my girlfriend when she loves me a lot? I feel bored.

HIPAA violations

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.

And much, much more.

All international travelers should get measles vaccinations, CDC says - AP News

Revealing classified information

Child pornography

False advertising

How do so-called Religious/Christian people really think homosexuality is even a sin? That would be nonsense. In fact, LGBT people need love instead of contempt/hatred. The word Homosexual didn't appear until the 1850s.

Fraud

Revenge porn

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.

What's the most incredible coincidence that ever happened to you?

No freedom is absolute.
