The FTC would then analyze how they would impact the platform’s users.
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other top company executives would also be required to “assess the company’s privacy safeguards and sign off on them” every quarter as part of the deal. This report would be provided to independent members of a committee on Facebook’s board tasked with overseeing the company’s data collection practices.
In addition to the committee, Facebook would need to “swiftly” report data privacy issues to the FTC as well as provide a more rigorous review of third-party app developers in order to avoid such privacy mishaps in the first place.
The FTC would also approve of a third-party watchdog which would regularly evaluate the company’s privacy practices.

The privacy oversight measures would be required in addition to the record-breaking $3 to $5 billionfine Facebook is expected to pay as a part of the settlement.
