Why is bullying online acceptable?

I'm on facebook, but post little and occasionally twitter when the children are on a trip so maybe I'm very removed from the environment. I obviously post on here though and report stuff that is obviously trolling or nasty.

But, I'm struggling to understand why it's legal/acceptable to bully people who are "in the media eye". Surely the platforms can check and immediately remove any posts that are unacceptable.

The poor woman that has committed suicide today was clearly being hounded and I think that which ever platform she was on, that didn't remove the offensive posts straight away is partially responsible for her death.
