I agree with that. Facebook should not be the instance deciding what is to be deleted or not. The german judicial system should be involved and offenders be prosecuted within the judicial system.
If the speech Facebook is forced to delete is illegal, there must be criminal investigation, by law. So it can't be illegal, which means the government is actually suppressing freedom of speech.

"But it is legal" is not exactly a helpful response to criticism of a law.
