> In January 2021, the Wall Street Journal reported that Parler had increased its moderation team to 600 people, and began paying them. They also had begun hiring full-time employees to moderate the service.
It may be that Parler did too little too late, but I find it concerning that most mainstream news outlets are failing to report this.
What did they moderate though? I mean, was their standing orders to delete posts that advocate violence? Or were they just to ban people who criticize Donald Trump? My overall question is was there an actual effort to come into lines with Google/Apple/AWS TOS? Just because they had moderators doesn't mean they were making an effort to remove the sorts of posts that got them banned.
