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

False advertising

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.

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

And much, much more.

Conspiracy

Revenge porn

Perjury

Child pornography

Threats of violence

Is it okay to pay 12,000 SEK for rent 67m² furnished house for 2 people in Jönköping, Sweden? It also includes electricity, internet, heating, and water expenses.

No freedom is absolute.

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.

Terroristic threats

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.

Insider trading

Would you recommend 'My Holo Love' as a good Kdrama for someone who is new to the genre?

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.
