Freedom of speech does not apply to:
Fraud
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.
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.
Child pornography
Terroristic threats
No freedom is absolute.
False advertising
Revealing classified information
Why do narcissist move on so easily?

Perjury
Revenge porn
Trade secrets
Threats of violence
And much, much more.
HIPAA violations
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.
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.
