The Notice of Inquiry begins a process to evaluate ways in which the Commission can assist survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, dating violence, intimate partner violence, human trafficking, or stalking.  The Notice also explores how to address survivors’ hesitancy to seek support due to the potential for abusers to easily gain access to outbound and inbound calls and text messages between survivors and hotlines and shelters.  To address that issue, the Notice seeks comment on enabling service providers to omit records of such communications from customer-facing call and text logs and proposes other ideas such as the feasibility of creating a database of survivor hotlines and other pertinent telephone numbers.
