Compel social media companies operating in the UK to make algorithms transparent

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 30 June 2026

Introduce legislation requiring social media companies operating in the UK to make their content recommendation, ranking and amplification algorithms transparent to users, regulators and approved independent researchers. Publish explanations of how their algorithms operate and how users can opt out. Social media algorithms can strongly influence what people see online, including news, political content and material affecting mental health or public safety. Users often cannot understand why content is being shown to them or how to control it. Transparency would not need to require publication of trade secrets or source code to the public. Companies could be required to provide meaningful public explanations, user controls, risk assessments and secure access for regulators or researchers.

Question 16497 — personnes âgées

France · National Assembly · 30 June 2026

Mme Edwige Diaz attire l'attention de Mme la ministre de la santé, des familles, de l'autonomie et des personnes handicapées sur la maltraitance commise envers les personnes âgées. Il apparaît selon l'OMS qu'une personne âgée de plus de 60 ans sur six a été victime d'une forme de maltraitance, manifestée par des gestes, des paroles, des actions ou des omissions portant atteinte aux droits ou à la santé. D'une part, dans leur environnement familier, 14,1 % des personnes âgées déclarent avoir été victimes de violences physiques et 32,5 % du personnel annonce avoir été témoin de violences psychologiques, toujours selon l'OMS. Aussi, 2 millions de seniors vivent sous le seuil de pauvreté en France, souvent sans accéder aux aides auxquelles ils ont droit, en raison de la numérisation des démarches administratives auxquelles ils n'ont pas ou difficilement accès et de la disparition de certains services publics en ruralité. Dès lors, selon les Petits Frères des Pauvres, 750 000 des aînés vivent en état de « mort sociale », sans contact significatif avec leurs familles, leurs amis, leurs voisins ou avec un quelconque réseau. En outre, la Nouvelle-Aquitaine est affectée par un manque d'aides à domicile et de personnel au sein des Ehpad et le département de la Gironde est directement concerné. En 2022, les services départementaux ont été informés d'évènements graves déclarés par les Ehpad. Particulièrement, en octobre 2023, une plainte pour maltraitances a été déposée contre un établissement à Gradignan, conduisant le parquet de Bordeaux à ouvrir une enquête pour « violences habituelles sur personne vulnérable » ; douze plaintes ont ensuite été centralisées, émanant également de soignants et de directeurs d'établissement prêts à témoigner sur la récurrence de ces pratiques. Ces situations résultent majoritairement des conditions de travail dégradées, liées à des sous-effectifs chroniques et à un manque de matériel dans des établissements sous-dotés. Ces carences peuvent générer des maltraitances involontaires, où des soignants bienveillants se retrouvent débordés, dans l'incapacité matérielle d'assurer une prise en charge décente, qui conditionne le respect accordé à la dignité humaine. Au regard de ces éléments, elle souhaite savoir quelles mesures concrètes le Gouvernement entend déployer afin de renforcer les effectifs des établissements, de garantir des dispositifs de signalement et de protection des victimes et de veiller à l'amélioration des conditions de travail du personnel.
