in place from 2008-2015 for Facebook commenting? There were existing
guidelines from November 2, 2012 that were not vetted by OGC as far as we are
aware.

Pro-Animal Testing Comments
1.
Is there any way you could find examples of pro-animal testing comments that
were hidden? This can either be the comment itself, or a comment thread where
there was an anti-animal testing comment and a pro animal testing advocate
replied to that comment, but the entire comment thread with replies to the original
comment was hidden? It would be very helpful if you could find 2-3 examples of
this and provide us with screenshots. If the comment was manually hidden, that
is fine. It would be preferable if you could find this during the time frame of the
complaint, which is between September 2020 to September 2021.
No, but if someone threaded a pro-animals in research response to a comment
that had been manually hidden because it was off topic, their response would be
hidden as well.

PETA effect on NIH Goals- The DOJ would like to include an argument showing how
PETA's spamming of off topic comments inhibits NIH's mission. As the keyword
blocking does target animal testing and PETA as we've discussed, the DOJ wants to
justify this targeting to state that the case isn't a debate about animal testing but about
harassment from PETA.
1.
Do you have any statistics about how often PETA comments compared to other
comments? Or statistics about how many comments are about animal testing? If
there is any way DOJ could state animal testing comments are 50% of the
comments received but the NIH has only posted about animal testing for 5% of
its posts, that would be helpful.
