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

Perjury

Conspiracy

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.

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.

This is a real question: Why do a lot of men/boys hate (yes, hate) women that voice their criteria in choosing a partner? Even when the criteria is sane and responsible. Besides it being, sadly, an effective mating strategy, why does it exist?

And much, much more.

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Revenge porn

Why is the concept of pumping water uphill not commonly used as a source of electricity generation, similar to pumped-hydro systems?

HIPAA violations

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

Hillary thinks we must censor or "we lose total control". Why does she demand total control?
