The Supreme Court has determined that there is no hate speech only free speech. Some people's free speech can be pretty reprehensible, but Facebook censoring it violates their first amendment rights. The fact that the MSM doesn't call this out shows they are not the protectors of free speech rights that they claim.

Why should Facebook care about free speech? It’s their platform, and if they want to be a censoring hell hole, don’t thy have the right to do it?

Because they are a communication platform and their product is speech. Political censorship is discrimination. Only weak minded people with indefensible positions favor censorship because their ideas cannot stand up to the scrutiny of a public forum. People need to hear things that they disagree with because it either logically strengthens their position or exposes a false position. If newspapers 1925 censored the unpopular Scopes monkey trial, we might still be teaching creationism. The truth no matter how unpopular is better than a convenient lie.
