Plaintiffs claimed they may want context for the complaints, but asserted they couldn't necessarily view the whole chat. Is that true? . Yes, for the most part. Tweets from users with a public profile can be seen by anyone following the chat. Tweets from users whose accounts are private would not be seen by everyone; only followers of a user with a private account would be able to view their tweets. However, PETA's tweets directed at NIH and the tweets complaining about PETA's disruptions are public. Here's the link to the chat with those publicly available tweets: Full Twitter chat thread from 10/3/14 on brain health that was disrupted. 2. Please let me know your feedback and if you have any edits on the following paragraph concerning NIH's manual moderation: Once Plaintiffs' complaint was filed, NIH paused its efforts to manually hide comments consistent with its comment moderation guidelines. Prior to this litigation, NIH did engage in manual comment hiding-- however, due to resource constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic, these efforts were limited--although it principally relied upon its keyword filters to ensure compliance with its comment moderation guidelines. If NIH had the resources to manually moderate its social media accounts on a more consistent basis, it would have done so. NIH intends to resume manual comment moderation following a resolution of the parties summary judgment motions, if consistent with the Court's order resolving those motions.

We are getting close to finalizing the fact stipulation. Hopefully by Friday but possibly next week if necessary. I have one needed clarification about Twitter, and would like your team to review some language about manual moderation to see if you have any feedback or edits.
