A pair of Senators said Thursday they'll introduce a bipartisan bill to protect American consumers' online data privacy, a day after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was grilled by lawmakers over the social network's privacy protection practices.

The bill would give consumers the right to see what information has been collected about them and keep it private by disabling data tracking and collection on websites. It'd also require terms of service agreements be in plain English and mandate that companies notify users within 72 hours if their information is affected by a breach.
