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:
Trade secrets
I’m 17 and looking for a girl. What do I do?
False advertising
Fraud
And much, much more.

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.
