Hi everyone, Happy holidays! I am following up from our last call. As an update, we just received another draft of the fact stipulation back from the Plaintiffs. It is now due to the court January 14, 2022 due to an extension request and we will be continuing to negotiate the facts with them over the next 3 weeks. I expect to have a few additional factual questions for you next week. In the meantime, I wanted to send you an answer to your question from our last call: Question: Could a decision in this case impact other NIH ICO social media accounts? Answer: It will likely not, because the case is limited to NIH's main Facebook and Instagram accounts. However, there is a small risk that a court may apply it more broadly if they rule for PETA. It is likely Plaintiffs will use broad wording in their briefs in order to have a wide scope to attack any policy that might apply NIH's main Facebook and Instagram pages. If a court rules for PETA, they may be ruling with that broad scope in mind and apply it to all of NIH and not the two specific accounts at issue. The DOJ has seen the court apply the decision more broadly than they should before. However, the DOJ has this scope on their radar and they will be sure to be extremely clear with the court that this concerns only the two social media pages, and if there was a ruling adverse to NIH it should be limited to these two pages only. This is why the DOJ sees a broader application to other NIH social media accounts as a small risk. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi team, I know some of you are out but I figured I would email the whole group the questions to see who is around and can answer a few questions this week. We are working on the next round of edits to the fact stipulation. Thank you very /OD) [E] > /OD) [E] Lankford, nate (NIH/OD) [E] limeni, Lydia 2PM much for your help! 1. The NIH Facebook and Instagram pages currently link to the privacy policy, https://www.nih.gov/about/privacy.htm. Would you have any concerns about adding a link on both pages to the comment moderation guidelines in addition to the privacy policy? *This is not a request yet, the DOJ is just weighing options.* 2. To prove the point that inflammatory comments may dissuade interested citizens from visiting the social media pages: Has the NIH received any complaints about animal rights comments on its social media pages? Has it received complaints about other comments that it considers to be "off-topic" or "inflammatory"? If so, do you have any specific proof or examples? 3. In your last response, you mentioned NIH has had some form of guidelines for moderating content since November 2012. Can you provide the guidance used prior to the March 30, 2015 guidelines were posted? 4. The Plaintiffs believe Facebook account holders can set the "level" of the profanity filter (weak/strong/etc.). What level has the NIH selected for its Facebook profanity filter? 5. During the relevant time period (Sep 2020 to now), has the NIH set any Facebook Live video-specific filtering? 6. On Facebook, is it possible that "non-animal" would be hidden because it contains the filtered word "animal"? Thank you, Sarah J.
