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 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:

No freedom is absolute.
