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

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.
Terroristic threats
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.
Threats of violence
No freedom is absolute.
Freedom of speech does not apply to:
How do you get started in bestiality with a dog as a male?
Perjury
Child pornography
Insider trading
Revenge porn
HIPAA violations
Fraud
Has your wife or girlfriend ever been felt up in public by a stranger?
Conspiracy
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.
False advertising
Have you ever dealt with a Christian narcissist?
Revealing classified information
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.
And much, much more.
