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.
Fraud
And much, much more.
HIPAA violations
Insurrection
Child pornography
Why do I keep waking up at 4 AM?
Threats of violence
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:
Trade secrets
Conspiracy
Revealing classified information
Are Americans really as uneducated and ignorant as portrayed in the media?
Revenge porn
False advertising
Perjury
We white women don't like white men. Do you have any issue with that?
No freedom is absolute.
Terroristic threats
Insider trading
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.
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.
