The FTC reportedly considered fining Facebook 'tens of billions of dollars' https://t.co/m7E1T9Fya5

AND, why didn’t this happen? Facebook's record-setting $5 billion FTC fine was reportedly going to be tens of billions of dollars, and would've held Mark Zuckerberg personally responsible https://t.co/09RkTseQeC

The FTC wanted to hold Zuck personally liable for the privacy debacle. Nice idea but wouldn't Facebook have just indemnified him? https://t.co/A3ug8Lp6CE

I’d love to see the FTC complaint. FTC’s mandate is to enforce against “unfair and deceptive” business practices. To collect phone numbers for security purposes and use them for advertising could certainly qualify for latter.

SCOOP: Inside the FTC's 16-moth probe of Facebook. Lots of new details including:
— Tony Romm (@TonyRomm) July 22, 2019
--Fine coulda been in tens of billions
--FB lobbied to keep Zuck largely out of order
--FB may not have to admit guilt
--Resolution could be this wkhttps://t.co/k7ltQucGmy
SCOOP: New details on FTC's Facebook complaint:
— Tony Romm (@TonyRomm) July 23, 2019
--Will fault FB for misleading on use of phone numbers
--Will say 30m misled on facial recognition
--FB does NOT admit guilt. Zuck never deposed.https://t.co/2LHV2hM0I8
SCOOP: The feds considered a penalty against Facebook in the tens of billions of dollars, and elements that'd hold Zuck personally accountable. Much got scrapped in settlement talks, and FB may not have to admit guilt. My story on the 16-month probehttps://t.co/k7ltQucGmy
