The issue is that Meta is making money from the murder of your relatives, in this scenario. It'd be like getting ten million zaps on a post of the murder of your mom or something.
they're also providing the service of me being able to livestream the cop who pulls me over, or livestreaming the protest I'm watching downtown. I don't see why they should be expected to provide this service for free. I don't see how one could expect them to be the arbiter of when this veers into something they shouldn't make money from.

Did news stations run advertisements during 9-11 coverage? Well then, there is the precedent.
edit: point to be made, those places make plenty of money.
