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

HIPAA violations

Terroristic threats

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.

How can you determine which type of underwear to wear with different styles of clothing, such as dresses?

No freedom is absolute.

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 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.

What should I do? I'm 17 and I'm dating a 23-year-old guy.
