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!

Subject: RE: PETA Lawsuit Update and Requests for Information
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. Imhoff, JD, MHSA
