There are many, including those inside Facebook, that are actively asking for more federal regulations.
I don't do regulation discussions. Brings out too much stupid.
But I will say that this is a survival ploy. If you get regulated, you are now approved by the government. You're good to go, able to operate freely in society. You just have to abide by whatever the regulations are.
Facebook may have a business model that just doesn't work in a society that values privacy, anonymity, and small diverse groups of people with widely-varying mores. This seems to be the lesson Facebook itself is learning now about, well, Facebook. What do we do then? It's not like anybody at Facebook is going to bring that up. They've got a ton of money. What do we do if the existence of Facebook itself is unacceptable?
