The only requirement is that you have a timely moderation system. It doesn't really matter how shit it is, just that you have one.
Facebook does have one. Parler didn't because it was only a small network (less than 1 million total users when it first got booted off) and didn't have much cash owing to having no revenue streams (like most startups), so couldn't afford a team large enough to either moderate or to develop moderation tools.
The new re-written Parler claims to have """AI""" systems for hiding nasty posts, presumably some kind of word filter, and a new moderation team that will hopefully keep the moderation queue short.
This is false as event he CEO mentioned in interviews. They did have a moderation system and a report system. What they didn't have is AI moderation because they believed that only a human should be capable of removing content on a free-speech platform. While they did remove posts, their team couldn't handle the volume.

Bullshit. Parler moderated a lot of content and they kept up with it. It was never a "free speech network" because there were banned topics of conversation. Topics and users were routinely deleted and banned practically instant

If they held facebook to the same standard it would probably never get back on the app store

Wasn't it some garbage moderation system where everything reported would have to get reviewed and voted on my a bunch of people weeks later?
The key word there is "timely" since deleting a post "telling people to murder politicians in two days" is pointless if it's done a week later

Wrong.
Parler DID have a moderation system.
They used it to kick liberals off for disagreeing with them.
That is why they got booted so fast. They proved that they could moderate, but only did so for bullshit reasons.
