No freedom is absolute.
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:

Conspiracy
What's a joke you haven't used yet, but are dying to share?

Child pornography
Revenge porn

Insurrection
Threats of violence
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.

Trade secrets
Terroristic threats

And much, much more.
