If freedom of speech is absolute, how come it's not applied for private spaces and for the Internet?

Freedom of speech does not apply to:

Trade secrets

Revenge porn

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.

HIPAA violations

Child pornography

Is it ok for someone to crossdress in public?

And much, much more.

Insurrection

Perjury

Do straight guys like to see cocks?

False advertising

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.

No freedom is absolute.

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.
