Could you tell me what the 'scales' means here?

How does the communication change its size? I think maybe it's a metaphor, but could you explaine it more directly?

I think it refers to the number of people that the communication reaches. Does that make sense in the context?

My thoughts exactly. What you say to three people at an informal gathering may have the same information content as what you say to a class of students or as what you say to a lecture hall full of congressmen, but can you say it in the same words? Sometimes, maybe; sometimes, not.

Ah! I know the meaning. But I consider it as a noun all the time. So it also can imply such connotation!
Got it ! Thank you!
