This comes after a report Friday that the FTC is looking into how to hold Zuckerberg accountable, including examining his past statements on privacy. The agency started investigating Facebook last year after it was revealed that UK political consultancy Cambridge Analytica harvested the data of up to 87 million Facebook users without their permission. The FTC investigation, which is ongoing, is focused on whether the social network violated a legal agreement with the US government to keep Facebook users' data private.

In his letter to the FTC, Wyden says any settlement the agency reaches with Facebook should hold Zuckerberg accountable or his "flagrant, repeated violations of Americans' privacy will continue." The senator pointed to documents released by the UK Parliament that reportedly showed Zuckerberg oversaw the social network's data-sharing deals.
