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:

Revenge porn

How did you respond to, "Why do you love me"?

Terroristic threats

And much, much more.

Insider trading

Why do nice guys rarely or never win?

Child pornography

Trade secrets

False advertising

Why did my ex-narcissist move so fast with his new supply marriage engagement moving in, etc.?

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.

Insurrection

Conspiracy

How do I stop having work crushes because I only keep getting disappointed almost every day as I keep seeing they don’t like me back and won’t ever ask me out?

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 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.
