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

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.

Should you have a threesome with your best friend and your significant other if the significant other requests it?

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.

Has a conversation with someone who holds opposing political views ever caused you to change your own beliefs?

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.
