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.
Freedom of speech does not apply to:
False advertising
How do you emotionally react to when others seem to feel sorry for you?

No freedom is absolute.
