Because of which crime exactly? I get that you think this is some fantastic and insightful comment you have made, but it brings nothing to the table. I don't want to defend Facebook to heavily here but, what exactly did they, and specifically Mark Zuckerburg and Sheryl Sandberg do to deserve criminal jail time? As far as I can tell, nothing.
Facebook is a platform where users willingly put way too much personal data. Facebook sells advertising space and application space and presents ads and applications to those users. Users willingly and enthusiastically gobble up those ads and applications. Are we all shocked and amazed that there are bad actors in the market place that exploit such a massive hoard of extremely valuable data? Of course not.
Look, if you want to punish Facebook, leave. Get your family and friends to leave. Sell their stock. Take yourself, as a product, elsewhere. But there are no laws to punish a CEO and COO of a company with jail time for the exceptional stupidity of their users.
