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.
How do I cope with the fact that I will never have a girlfriend?
Freedom of speech does not apply to:
Insurrection
No freedom is absolute.
And much, much more.
HIPAA violations
Revenge porn
What misfortune led to an important discovery?
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.
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.
