Double standards? No, censorship is the suppression of free speech that can be considered objectionable, forbidding free hate speech is not censorship. Perhaps because denying the holocaust is mostly used in a context of anti-Semitism speech for hating jews as the evil in the world and allowing it before led to tragedies, specially France, the most affected country by the two wars - It already almost led to the extinction of an entire "race"/people. And considering the evidence for the holocaust, I don't see the problem. Racist speech and fascist speech is also illegal, and it will remain so
