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.
Threats of violence
Insider trading
Revealing classified information
No freedom is absolute.
Child pornography
How do empaths destroy narcissists?
Trade secrets
False advertising
Conspiracy
In what ways does Islam oppress women?
Revenge porn
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.
Freedom of speech does not apply to:

HIPAA violations
Perjury
Sapiente nemo autem perspiciatis.
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.
And much, much more.
