Labo Société Numérique — Dossier plateformisation du travail

What can I learn?

The French government's digital society lab aggregates the 2021 Sénat report (18 recommendations on algorithmic management), DARES/DREES research studies, CNIL LINC analysis, and journalistic investigations into a single curated dossier. Covers algorithmic management, information asymmetry, rating economies, and worker rights across all platform sectors — not just delivery but also freelancing, micro-tasks, and care work.

Core insight

Algorithmic management is not a neutral technical tool — it systematically reinforces employer power while hiding it behind the fiction of independence. The Sénat concluded it is 'indispensable to develop measures favouring algorithmic explainability' for workers and their representatives.

How to use it in daily work

Authoritative, government-sourced French dossier giving you the policy framing, legal context, and research backing to discuss platform work with confidence.

• When a client questions whether their platform's algorithm is legal or contestable, this dossier gives you the Sénat's 18 recommendations and the relevant legal cases as reference points.
• The CNIL analysis of platform data practices gives you the data-protection angle — what data is collected, how it is used for management, and what rights workers have under GDPR.
