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

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.
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.
Freedom of speech does not apply to:
How do I build rapport with anybody?
Conspiracy
Insider trading
Perjury
Child pornography
Insurrection
False advertising
Is TikTok becoming a platform for soft porn?
Terroristic threats
Threats of violence
Fraud
Trade secrets
HIPAA violations
No freedom is absolute.
Why do so many people like life?
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
And much, much more.

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.
