FEDERA L COM MUNICATIONS COM MISSIO N W ASHIN G TON OFFI C E OF July 16, 2020 THE C HAIRM AN The Honorable Kevin Cramer United States Senate 400 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senator Cramer: Thank you for your letter regarding the recent Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship. As I said when the Executive Order was released, this is an important debate, and the Federal Communications Commission will carefully review any request for rulemaking filed pursuant to the Order. As you know, section 2 of the Executive Order directs the Department of Commerce, in consultation with the Department of Justice, to file a petition with the FCC within 60 days of the Order's issuance requesting that the Commission make certain clarifications concerning the scope of section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. As with any potential Commission action, it would not be appropriate for me to weigh in on the merits of the petition before it is filed, but I can assure you that we will carefully review it. I appreciate your interest in this matter. As always, please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. v.
