Just to make sure we're clear on the numbers, Parler had ~2 million accounts last I checked. Facebook being 1e6 times bigger, as you claim, would be quite the feat.

I get your larger point, but the actual numbers you picked to illustrate it are just completely divorced from reality.

So it looks like Facebook is 2.7bn. So they're 1000 times larger. So the question is, are there 1000 times more racist/antisemitic/violent posts on Facebook as there are on parler?
