The argument for Parler from at least some platforms seems to have been that they were unable or unwilling to police content after they had actual notice. Whether it is as sufficient or not may be debatable, but Facebook has at least visibly made steps to address the problem as attention has been focussed on it.

By "actual notice", I assume you're referring to the paltry 24 hours notice provided by Apple. To my knowledge, Google did not provide notice.

No, I mean actual knowledge of the content, by whatever mechanism.
