Abstract

Market platformisation presents major legal opportunities and challenges. In response, legislators and regulators must work closely together to create a legal framework that is adapted to the activity of digital platforms, while protecting the rights and interests of users, workers and businesses. Algorithms are at the heart of the business model of digital platforms. Their use is protected by business secrecy, which tends to reduce the platforms' efforts in terms of transparency and explanability of the decisions taken by automated data processing. Over and above the objective of transparency, it is now essential to develop measures to promote understanding of algorithms.
