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.
Freedom of speech does not apply to:
Trade secrets
What are some good Caribbean islands to travel to with friends or family? Why?
Insider trading
False advertising
Terroristic threats
Revealing classified information
HIPAA violations
Revenge porn
Threats of violence
Perjury
Child pornography
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.
Insurrection
Why is my ex trying to provoke an argument with me?
Conspiracy
No freedom is absolute.
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.
