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

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Insider trading

Threats of violence

What do people aim for when they meditate, and how do they do it properly?

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.

HIPAA violations

Can you explain the difference between “mi piace” and “mi piacciono” in Italian?

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.

Conspiracy

Terroristic threats

Why did it take seven days for troops with helicopters, equipment, supplies, food, and water to be dispatched to southeast storm zones?

Insurrection

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.

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.
