The FTC's investigation is still ongoing, but the penalty against Facebook is expected to be larger than the record-setting $22.5 million the FTC imposed on Google in 2012, according to the Post.

Facebook has already faced hefty fines in other countries, including Italy, over allegations of data misuse. If the social media company gets fined by the FTC, it would be the first punishment against Facebook in the US.
