When it comes to tech like this, it's good to not just ask "can it happen", but "why wouldn't it happen". Pressing a button to fill your room full of gas is doesn't strike me as serving any good purpose. It doesn't benefit anyone. Computers can phone home with your every keystroke, and the NSA does indeed track loads of people for "security" purposes. Zuckerberg could potentially track everyone, and why wouldn't he? It'd get him loads of valuable info for campaigning and material to use against his opponents. Once he gets into office, he can grab the entire legislative and judicial branches by the balls with the info he harvests about them (if they're married and ever used Tinder or followed a porn star on Instagram, they wouldn't want those secrets out in the open). The NSA and FBI wouldn't have any reason to publicly oppose one of their most valuable surveillance and 4th-Amendment-dodging farms. If it's easy to do and has a potential to benefit someone, it's good to assume that someone is taking advantage of it. Zuckerberg would be honestly incredibly stupid to not use Facebook for his political gain. Even if the media reported on it, the average person won't understand why it's bad and won't really care.
