It's not the whole truth though, it's thanks to associations like La Quadrature du Net https://www.laquadrature.net/ that they had to share their algorithm.

It also shows a bias towards single familly with low income, adding pressure to families already in state of precarity. It doesn't mean it's intentional but it is still an issue.

The fact that there are no proper audit of those algorithms before allowing those to be used looks quite bad in my opinion. This can be quite impactful on people's life.

I missed the context where it was associations that put the issue on the table. In the end we have an audit that show a bias against single family with low income. The bias itself is bad, but having an audit is good, it's the first step to improve things somewhat
