Free speech is only useful if applied to controversial matters. Everything else doesn't need free speech.

You're being downvoted but...you're objectively correct. As Noam Chomsky said, "if we do not believe in freedom of speech for those we despise we do not believe in it at all." Or Voltaire: "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."
