Subject: RE: PETA Lawsuit Update and Requests for Information
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for your patience on these! 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
received complaints about other comments that it considers to be "off-topic" or "inflammatory"? If so, do you
have any specific proof or examples?
Please see examples below and screenshots attached.

testing focused):
