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

False advertising

HIPAA violations

Fraud

What are some sunscreens that are suitable for oily-skinned individuals and do not make the face look greasy or shiny after application?

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Insurrection

Perjury

Reddit sues Anthropic, alleging its bots accessed Reddit more than 100,000 times since last July - The Verge

Revenge porn

Conspiracy

Child pornography

If my boyfriend watches porn, does it mean he doesn’t think I’m good enough? If I am good enough, why does he still watch? Am I not beautiful enough?

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.

Insider trading

How many of you have had your parental rights taken away because of lies and no truth whatsoever, and did you prove the lies that were told about you to be false either through drug testing or another way, but still had your rights taken?

Revealing classified information

Threats of violence

No freedom is absolute.

Can the existence of past lives be proven without the use of hypnosis or a pendulum to inquire about previous incarnations?

Trade secrets

And much, much more.

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.

Is the timing of OpenAI’s deployment of Times-trained multimodal models coinciding with Microsoft’s boost in market capitalization in the past year just a coincidence?

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.

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.
