'He hurt a lot of people': Democratic senator suggests prison time for Mark Zuckerberg

Sen. Ron Wyden said Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg should be punished with prison time over the social media giant’s privacy lapses.

“Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly lied to the American people about privacy. I think he ought to be held personally accountable, which is everything from financial fines to — and let me underline this — the possibility of a prison term. Because he hurt a lot of people,” the Oregon Democrat toldWillamette Week.

“And, by the way, there is a precedent for this: In financial services, if the CEO and the executives lie about the financials, they can be held personally accountable,” he said.

Wyden published a draft bill late last year that proposed a penalty of 10 to 20 years of imprisonment for executives who mishandle consumer data.

I blame all the idiots that have let themselves be suckered into thinking Facebook is just a harmless place to share your life. It is a commercial operation designed to gather information and sell it. Hence Mr Zuckerbergs $40 Billion bank account. You've been duped now deal with it. He's smarter than you.
