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.
False advertising
When did you realize that your childhood was not normal?
Freedom of speech does not apply to:
Revenge porn
And much, much more.
What are some of your shocking stories?
HIPAA violations
Child pornography
Revealing classified information
At what stage in your life did you realize, "No, I can't do this any more" and walk out? Why?
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.
Trade secrets
Terroristic threats
Why is Tiananmen Square censored?
Threats of violence
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.
No freedom is absolute.
How can someone effectively handle a targeted individual?
Conspiracy
Perjury
Insider trading
Insurrection
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.
