Facebook Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is in Paris Wednesday for a meeting with France’s tech-savvy President Emmanuel Macron, the latest stop on a European tour that aims to shore up the company’s reputation after the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

The two men were to discuss the platform’s efforts to deal with terrorist recruiters, fake news, election meddling and hate speech, an aide to the French president said ahead of the closed-door talks. He said Macron wants the Facebook chief to understand the widespread concern about the misuse of social media.
