A bipartisan letter published Monday puts additional pressure on the FTC as it weighs steps to punish Facebook for mishandling users' personal information.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Sen. Josh Hawley , both members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, criticized the FTC's investigation of Facebook, saying it's time for the agency to learn from "a history of broken and under-enforced consent orders." The bipartisan letter puts additional pressure on the regulator as it weighs steps to punish Facebook for mishandling users' personal information.
"The public is rightly asking whether Facebook is too big to be held accountable," the senators wrote. "The FTC must set a resounding precedent that is heard by Facebook and any other tech company that disregards the law in a rapacious quest for growth."
