Facebook said in a statement that it will help
provide “basic information in criminal hate
speech cases” to French authorities but will “push
back if (the request) is overbroad, inconsistent
with human rights, or legally defective.”
Like many countries, France has been battling
violent and racist content online, and has been
hit by deadly extremist attacks in recent years.
The move came after Facebook chief Mark
Zuckerberg came to Paris last month and met
withFrenchPresidentEmmanuelMacron.
