NIH Hid Public Comments Package — page 100

f(OD)[ Lankford, nate (NIH/OD) [E] limeni, Lydia < < @palladianpartners.com> Subject: RE: PETA Lawsuit Update and Requests for Information Hi everyone, I have two additional follow-up questions from the DOJ: 1. Were the twitter posts on the 10/3/14 discussion on brain health linked below posted directly on NIH's Twitter account main page? Or was there a separate "chat" where these were posted? Plaintiffs want to know if anyone that went to the NIH's twitter account during that time would have seen those posts. 2. Are you aware of complaints we've received against other types of posts, unrelated to animal testing? E.g., posts concerning Dr. Fauci, or posts concerning vaccine misinformation? I know I've asked this before, but Plaintiffs specifically want to know if the complaints NIH receives are really focused on PETA, or if NIH received complaints about inflammatory posts on a variety of subjects. I think Plaintiffs want to make the argument that NIH is targeted animal rights posts over other inflammatory posts when they are equally inappropriate. Since Plaintiffs want this answer as part of our fact stipulation negotiations, I think we have to provide it. Thank you, Sarah J.

Still trying to track down number 3 - will have an update for you tomorrow. Thanks! 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.* Not at all, this would be ok with us. 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
