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.
Revenge porn
Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Conspiracy
Child pornography
Perjury

Threats of violence
And much, much more.
Insurrection
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.
Terroristic threats
Trade secrets
Travis Hunter gets his full $30.57 million signing bonus up front - NBC Sports
Fraud
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.
Revealing classified information
Shouldn’t there be a short porn platform like TikTok?
Insider trading
HIPAA violations
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.
False advertising
No freedom is absolute.
