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

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.

Revenge porn

Patti LuPone stuns Broadway as The Apologizer - AV Club

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

HIPAA violations

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.

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

What steps can be taken to track down a scammer and determine their location?

Perjury

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.

False advertising

Is it wise to SECRETLY expose a narcissist by telling others that he/she is a covert narcissist?

Child pornography

And much, much more.

Revealing classified information

What is the typical mentality of the Indian society?

Fraud

Insider trading

Insurrection

What is better, 4 more years of Trump with the media trying to hurt him, or 8 years of DeSantis with the media licking booty, or 4 to 8 years of RFK with the media hating on him all the time? (Biden is not an option, he can't win)

No freedom is absolute.
