That being said, the French government wants to give it their best anyway. According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve will be meeting his German counterpart on Tuesday where they will discuss and push for a united front in the removal of terrorism-related content from the internet.
He is also hoping that with their combined efforts, it will also be sufficient to pressure US tech firms to follow suit. According to Cazeneuve, “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.” He also commended companies like Facebook and Google for moving quickly in the wake of the Paris shootings, but added that it could have been faster and more efficient.
British Prime Minister David Cameron also recently spoke up in the wake of the attacks, claiming that he was considering banning encrypted messaging apps as such apps could hinder the work of law enforcement officials trying to gain access to evidence and information that could help stop future threats, but what do you guys think? Does this seem like an uphill battle?
