The policy means nothing if it isn't applied and a lot of what happened on Wednesday (and way worse) was planned in the open on Parler. Parler's moderation also principally consisted from what I've heard of community 'jury of peers' where a reported post was shown to ~5 other users who decided if it was a violation which is incredibly insufficient and basically guarantees the policy will not be enforced.

It wasn't applied instantly? Was there some specific deadline they did not meet? Because Twitter does not remove bad things instantly either.
There's been reporting that Amazon sent them some specific... Parlers (?) (IDK what the Tweet equivalent is over there) they said violated their contract or something and they weren't taken down. It's not about the speed either it's that their moderation system was completely half-assed. Keep in mind the kind of talk and planning that lead to Wednesday has been happening over there since the election and similar "hang the traitors" talk has been going on much longer basically since the site started.
