Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), a tough critic of the big tech companies, urged the Federal Trade Commission on Nov. 12 to interview some former employees of Facebook Inc. as part of its probe of the social media giant.

Both the FTC and groups of state attorneys general are widely believed to be planning litigation against Facebook for breaking antitrust law.
