Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in Massachusetts has ruled that the CIA failed to conduct an adequate search for records concerning the agency's use of Twitter and that while the agency properly invoked Exemption 3 (other statutes), it failed to support its Exemption 5 (privileges) and Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy) claims. Amanda Johnson, a Ph. D student at MIT, submitted a three-part request for records pertaining to the agency's use of Twitter. The agency searched its Office of Public Affairs and disclosed 18 records with redactions. Johnson argued that searching only OPA was too limited because the disclosed documents indicated that other components, such as the Office of General Counsel, the Chief Information Officer, the Web Council, and the Publications Review Board, were involved as well. Agreeing with Johnson, the court noted that "Dr. Johnson is not merely speculating about the existence of responsive documents outside of OPA, she has reliable evidence that their existence is likely. In light of these references, it was unreasonable for the Agency to draw the conclusion, without providing more of an explanation, that OPA would be 'the only Agency office reasonably likely to possess records responsive to Plaintiff's request.'" The court added that "the mention of PRB and other offices in the produced documents are leads sufficient to require the Agency to expand the scope of its search." The agency had refused to search for a list of user applications associated with the agency's public Twitter account because to do so would require the agency to create a record. Again, the court disagreed. The court pointed out that "the list sought by Dr. Johnson in the third request already exists and must be produced. She is not asking the Agency to create a list of user applications, but rather seeks the currently existing list of user applications available on Twitter's website. As evidenced by [the agency declaration], the record sought is a list, accessible to the Agency, already maintained on the Agency's Twitter account. The record exists with regard to all Twitter accounts and would not be created specifically for purposes of the Agency's FOIA response." The court found although the list was on Twitter's website the agency had sufficient control over the document. The court indicated that "the Agency can manipulate its applications list by revoking access to certain applications and connecting to others. The makeup of this list is controlled by the Agency's own decisions with regard to its Twitter account. This shows that Twitter significantly relinquished control over this page to the Agency. Even if not hosted within the Agency's records system, the Agency has enough ability to manipulate and use the record so that the list constitutes an Agency-controlled record for FOIA purposes." The court found that the agency's redactions under the National Security Act and the CIA Act were appropriate under Exemption 3. As to its claim that certain information was protected under the deliberative process privilege, the court pointed out that "the Agency misapplies the privilege. As the Agency describes, the information withheld is part of an Agency document used to aid employees in making decisions related to the Twitter account. Although it may aid the deliberative process, the document itself is not deliberative." The court concluded that names and addresses of CIA and Twitter employees contained in emails did not qualify for Exemption 6. The court observed that "the 'emails can in no way be construed as similar to personnel or medical files' so the Exemption cannot be invoked. Rather, the emails are 'mundane interoffice communications [and] do not contain any detailed personal information.'"
Issues: Agency Record - Constructive possession, Exemption 5 - Privileges - Deliberative process privilege - Predecisional, Exemption 5 - Privileges - Deliberative process privilege - Deliberative
