Perjury
Fraud
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.
HIPAA violations
False advertising
Freedom of speech does not apply to:
Why does Boko Haram attack its own Muslims?
Threats of violence
Terroristic threats
Revealing classified information
Why are Trump supporters so incredibly stupid?
Child pornography
No freedom is absolute.
And much, much more.
What is the sum of X+XX+XXX+XXXX?
Revenge porn
Insider trading
Insurrection
How can we become the best humans? How can we trust each other?
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.
Trade secrets
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.
Conspiracy
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.
