WASHINGTON—Two senators on May 6 criticized reported plans for a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) settlement with Facebook Inc. for misuse of consumers’ personal data, saying that top officials, potentially including founder Mark Zuckerberg, must be held personally responsible.
In a letter to the FTC, Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) told the agency that even a $5 billion civil penalty is a “bargain for Facebook.”
