Because my country's Constitution grants free speech, while outlawing hate speech and libel in the same article [1]. You'll see this in the constitution of many European countries and whether that's good or not, that's a matter of debate.
But what matters is that we are talking about the law and Facebook's censorship goes against the rights provided by my country's Constitution. Yes, they are a private entity and it's their property to do with it as they wish, but given their near monopoly on social media, at this point they should be punished for censoring content like this, just like how Google was fined for promoting their own services in search results.
