France wants to team up with Germany to raise pressure on U.S. tech firms in the wake of terror attacks in and around the French capital. French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve will meet Tuesday with his German counterpart, Thomas de Maizière, to push for a unified front in demanding quicker removal by tech firms of terrorism-related content on the Internet, Mr. Cazeneuve said Monday. “It is at the European level that we will be able to convince a certain number of Internet companies of the need to move more quickly with us,” Mr. Cazeneuve said during a speech following a visit to a cybercrime unit of the French National Police on Monday.
