/OD) [E] nate (NIH/OD) [E] Lankford, limeni, Lydia Hi Sarah, Sorry for the delay, I was off yesterday Amanda and Anna are out this week but I can work on getting you answers to some of these; may not have it all until next week when I can consult with them however. Want to make sure the info is accurate! I hope that works. Thanks! Lydia Polimeni Office of Communications and Public Liaison Office of the Director, National Institutes of Health I @nih.gov

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    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 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.
