And much, much more.

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

False advertising

Perjury

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

What does the stink of the skunk look like? Why would it be dangerous?

Revealing classified information

No freedom is absolute.

Child pornography

What’s a historical event you wish more people talked about?

Trade secrets

Insurrection

Fraud

What did Rama tell Sita about Kaliyug?

HIPAA violations

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.

Revenge porn

Why are the bands Smashmouth and Nickelback often used as punchlines?

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.
