Yes, because "dozens" represents different percentages of content on Parler vs much much bigger platforms like Twitter. Parler is filled with content that encourages violence, while Twitter is used for all kinds of things.

Can you provide (or estimate) numbers on that?

And also, what is the threshold for deciding which platform is on one side or another?

The threshold is if the management at Amazon etc. feel that it would generate too much bad publicity and/or potential legal liability for them to provide service to an organization mired in such controversy.

That’s a perfectly reasonable reason for a business to do something.

So they could have just filled their site with GPT3-generated nonsense to reach the acceptable percentage of nonviolent content? Cool!
