Facebook selectively condones inciting violence

RE: Facebook selectively condones inciting violence
Do you take issue with their definition of Dangerous Individuals and Organizations? Are you concerned that you or people you know/sympathize with may fall under that category?

Quote:In an effort to prevent and disrupt real-world harm, we do not allow any organizations or individuals that proclaim a violent mission or are engaged in violence, from having a presence on Facebook. This includes organizations or individuals involved in the following:

Terrorist activity
Organized hate
Mass or serial murder
Human trafficking
Organized violence or criminal activity

We also remove content that expresses support or praise for groups, leaders, or individuals involved in these activities.

Terrorist organizations and terrorists
A terrorist organization is defined as:
Any non-governmental organization that engages in premeditated acts of violence against persons or property to intimidate a civilian population, government, or international organization in order to achieve a political, religious, or ideological aim
A member of a terrorist organization or any person who commits a terrorist act is considered a terrorist
A terrorist act is defined as a premeditated act of violence against persons or property carried out by a non-government actor to intimidate a civilian population, government, or international organization in order to achieve a political, religious, or ideological aim.
Hate organizations and their leaders and prominent members

A hate organization is defined as:
Any association of three or more people that is organized under a name, sign, or symbol and that has an ideology, statements, or physical actions that attack individuals based on characteristics, including race, religious affiliation, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sex, sexual orientation, serious disease or disability.
Mass and serial murderers

We consider a homicide to be a mass murder if it results in four or more deaths in one incident
We consider any individual who has committed two or more murders over multiple incidents or locations a serial murderer
We make these assessments based upon the information available to us and will generally apply this policy to a mass or serial murderer who meets any of the following criteria:
They were convicted of mass or serial murder.
They were killed by law enforcement during commission of the mass or serial murder or during subsequent flight.
They killed themselves at the scene or in the aftermath of the mass or serial murder.
They were identified by law enforcement with images from the crime.
Human trafficking groups and their leaders

Human trafficking groups are organizations responsible for any of the following:
Prostitution of others, forced/bonded labor, slavery, or the removal of organs
Recruiting, transporting, transferring, detaining, providing, harboring, or receiving a minor, or an adult against their will
Criminal organizations and their leaders and prominent members

A criminal organization is defined as:
Any association of three or more people that is united under a name, color(s), hand gesture(s) or recognized indicia, that has engaged in or threatens to engage in criminal activity, including (but not limited to)

Homicide
Drug trafficking
Arms trafficking
Identity theft
Money laundering
Extortion or trafficking
Assault
Kidnapping
Sexual exploitation (covered in section 7 and section 8)

We do not allow symbols that represent any of the above organizations or individuals to be shared on our platform without context that condemns or neutrally discusses the content.

We do not allow content that praises any of the above organizations or individuals or any acts committed by them.

We do not allow coordination of support for any of the above organizations or individuals or any acts committed by them

I'm confused as to why I should be upset by this.
