/OD) [E] Lankford, >; Polimeni, /OD) [E] You cannot post to someone's page on Twitter in the same way you can on Facebook. On Twitter, you can either reply to someone's tweet (aka tweet thread) or tweet under an established hashtag. The hashtag is a way to filter and organize tweets across Twitter by creating a feed with only those tweets using the same hashtag. It's a way to create a conversation on the platform. The hashtag for the chat was established by the NIH so that all chat participants could see the conversation around brain health. PETA posted both to NIH tweets and used the hashtag in this scenario. Participants would be looking at the tweets appearing on the hashtag (i.e. the conversation) and would have seen PETA's posts, and those following the tweet thread would have also seen PETA's posts. This means there would be no way to follow the information on the Twitter chat without being disrupted by the posts and being forced to work around them to get the relevant health information. 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. Yes - we've received complaints about other inappropriate and/or off topic content that is not related to animal testing.

I imagine since she made several comments in a row with no time in between the comments it violated FB's community standards and they were removed.
