It's not "should"; that's how it is.

Facebook isn't your country.

It's also 'illegal' for women to have their faces covered in some countries.

Does this mean that there should be no pictures of women on Facebook?

Burkas, burkinis in France. (It's a bit more complicated then that, hence the scare quotes.)

Depending on who you ask, it's either because of some hand-waved nonsense about public safety, or because liberal Western values include telling women what they can and cannot wear.
