Two senators call on FTC to hit Facebook with more than a big fine

The request comes amid mounting expectation the FTC and Facebook are negotiating a fine of as much as $5 billion, which would be the largest ever levied by the agency. In an earnings report last month, Facebook prepared investors for such a fine, saying it had already set aside funds to cover at least part of it.
A fine, regardless of its size, might not be enough to satisfy the two senators, who called on the FTC to target individual executives for punishment.
