Freedom of speech does not apply to:
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.
And much, much more.
Conspiracy
Fraud
What was your worst experience while living with roommates?
Terroristic threats
Child pornography

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 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.
False advertising
HIPAA violations
Why don't I want to talk to my girlfriend when she loves me a lot? I feel bored.
Perjury
Trade secrets
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.
No freedom is absolute.
