Question 12422 — entreprises

France · National Assembly · 27 January 2026

M. Fabrice Barusseau attire l'attention de M. le ministre des petites et moyennes entreprises, du commerce, de l'artisanat, du tourisme et du pouvoir d'achat sur les conséquences financières de la réforme de la facturation électronique obligatoire pour les TPE. À compter de sa généralisation, cette réforme impose aux entreprises de recourir à des plateformes de dématérialisation partenaires (PDP) privées pour l'émission et la réception des factures, alors même que l'État s'était initialement engagé à mettre à disposition une plateforme publique gratuite permettant de garantir l'absence de coûts supplémentaires pour les plus petites structures. Or des chefs d'entreprise alertent sur les charges nouvelles induites par cette obligation : abonnements annuels pouvant atteindre plusieurs milliers d'euros, frais de mise en conformité, prestations d'accompagnement et de paramétrage, représentant une dépense significative pour des TPE dont les marges sont déjà fortement contraintes. À titre d'exemple, certaines structures estiment ce surcoût à plus de 7 000 euros hors taxes par an, auxquels s'ajoutent plusieurs milliers d'euros de prestations initiales, pour une mission relevant pourtant de la collecte de la TVA, au bénéfice de l'administration fiscale. Ces entreprises ont le sentiment qu'une charge administrative et financière supplémentaire leur est transférée, sans compensation, alors même qu'elles contribuent déjà pleinement à l'effort de modernisation et de numérisation de l'économie. Cette situation est d'autant plus mal comprise qu'elle revient, de fait, à rendre obligatoire le recours à des opérateurs privés, au détriment de la promesse de gratuité initialement formulée par l'État. Ainsi, il lui demande quelles mesures le Gouvernement entend prendre pour garantir que la réforme de la facturation électronique ne se traduise pas par une taxe déguisée pesant sur les TPE, notamment par le rétablissement effectif d'une solution publique gratuite et opérationnelle ou, à défaut, la mise en place de mécanismes de compensation financière (crédit d'impôt, prise en charge partielle des coûts, plafonnement des tarifs) pour les plus petites entreprises. Il souhaite également savoir comment le Gouvernement entend associer les organisations représentatives des TPE à l'évaluation des impacts économiques de cette réforme, afin de préserver la viabilité et la compétitivité de ces entreprises essentielles au tissu économique local.

Question 12413 — enseignement maternel et primaire

France · National Assembly · 27 January 2026

M. Jean-Louis Thiériot attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'éducation nationale sur la contradiction croissante entre les politiques publiques de prévention de la surexposition des enfants aux écrans et l'organisation concrète de la scolarité, largement structurée autour d'outils numériques, au premier rang desquels la plateforme Pronote. Cette numérisation généralisée place les familles dans une situation paradoxale : comment inciter les enfants à réduire leur temps d'écran lorsque l'accès même à la scolarité, à l'information scolaire et à l'organisation du travail personnel suppose une connexion quotidienne à une plateforme numérique ? Comment demander aux parents d'être vigilants sur les usages numériques, tout en rendant indispensable l'usage d'outils digitaux pour suivre la vie scolaire de leurs enfants ? Se pose ainsi une question de cohérence du message éducatif adressé aux élèves et aux familles. Il souhaiterait donc savoir quelles réflexions le Gouvernement entend engager pour concilier la nécessaire modernisation du service public de l'éducation avec les objectifs de santé publique et d'éducation à un usage raisonné des écrans.

Update law to help protect over-60s from social media algorithms amplifying hate

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 24 January 2026

Review and update the Online Safety Act to include specific recognition of over-60s as a vulnerable group and require platforms to assess and mitigate any algorithmic amplification of hateful and extremist content that may disproportionately harm older adults, without restricting lawful speech. We believe older adults can be disproportionately affected by social media systems that we feel prioritise divisive and hateful content to maximise engagement. Factors such as loneliness and lower digital literacy can increase vulnerability, yet the Online Safety Act provides no specific recognition of these risks to over-60s. We want the Act to be updated to specifically require platforms to assess and mitigate any foreseeable algorithmic harms to over-60s in particular, without restricting lawful speech.
