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.
Freedom of speech does not apply to:
Insurrection
What is the difference between the Bible and the Qur'an?
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.
Perjury
Trade secrets
Insider trading
No freedom is absolute.
False advertising
Why has no country adopted the SA80/L85 rifle?
Fraud

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.
Conspiracy
Child pornography
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.
