EU negotiators agree platform work rules on algorithms, then member states reject the deal

Council and Parliament negotiators reached a provisional agreement on the platform work directive on 13 December 2023. Platforms would have to tell workers about automated monitoring and decision systems, could not use them to process data on emotional state or private conversations, and would need human oversight of decisions such as account suspensions. On 22 December the Spanish presidency said member states’ representatives had not reached the majority needed, and talks passed to the Belgian presidency.

Why it matters

Platform companies and their workers in the EU waited until 2024 for rules on algorithmic management after member states rejected the December text.
