  • Creating a system operating “sovereign”

This is the most spectacular view in the committee voted by MEPs, which generated many laughs acids on Twitter. Within three months, a report will be submitted to the government in order to discuss the creation of a “police to digital sovereignty” and “the conditions for the establishment of a sovereign operating system “. The state he will create a competitor to Windows, the operating system in which Microsoft has already invested several billion dollars? Secretary of State to digital “does not believe in the possibility of a sovereign operating system, which would not be operating” , she launched during debates.

  • Loyalty platforms

The obligation of transparency in its original form was the key measure of Lemaire law. Google should have revealed the operation of its search algorithm, Apple and how it classifies applications in the AppStore. On proposal of the rapporteur of the text, Luke Belot (PS), MEPs have softened these obligations. Finally, the platforms will only reveal the contractual relationship they have with third parties if this influences research results, and will stick to a factual reference in the General Conditions of Use. “This gives guarantees economically without being unmanageable” , justifies Belot Luc. Axelle Lemaire regretted a provision that “empty” the text of its substance. “These are technical issues that can seemingly hide problematic in terms of competition, social protection or fairness” , regrets his side Thieulin Benedict, president of the Digital National Council .

  • Data portability

The deputies approved the principle of collecting of personal data by Internet users. This will make it possible to transfer the playlist to iTunes Spotify, or Instagram pictures to another application. However, this obligation would only apply to public services, excluding, before the outcry of software publishers, inter-enterprise services.

Axelle Lemaire wanted to ban the scan emails, which allows Google to fund Gmail through advertising. The measure could be softened in the National Assembly. “We fell agree that it was not a violation of the secrecy of correspondence and the need to warn the user” , says Luc Belot.

  • The Open Data

The Insee, but also the statistical studies departments of ministries of labor and Social Affairs, will be required to make their data available to all. However, the government has just tabled an amendment enabling public transit authorities to refuse the sharing of certain information, such as those on rail freight transport for the SNCF, or new bus routes for the RATP. The Macron law had forced them to open their database. But the measure had greatly grieved SNCF, which feared competition from Google in the conquest of customers
