We'll elaborate in our response, but yes - while those activists posted from their own Twitter accounts, they tagged @NIH and used the NIH designated hashtag for the chat #NIHChat to ensure their responses appeared in the chat feed, so those comments did take place on a hashtag that NIH created. In addition to the activists, PETA tagged NIH and used the hashtag as well.

Thanks. I received a little more information on the Twitter question: Plaintiffs are arguing that the relevant Twitter posts took place on the animal rights activists' own Twitter accounts; according to Plaintiffs, those Twitter posts did not take place on NIH's page. My understanding is that, perhaps, those activists "tagged" NIH's Twitter handle, which caused their comments to appear on NIH's Twitter page. Is that correct? Thanks, Sarah J.
