Description

Legal Framework for algorithmic management of work on digital platforms (7238-D-2025) including business registration requirement was introduced to National Congress

On 6 February 2026, the Argentine National Congress introduced the Legal Framework for the Algorithmic Management of Work on Digital Platforms (Bill 7238-D-2025). The Bill would apply to digital platform companies operating in Argentina and providing intermediary services for delivery, messaging, distribution or passenger transport, regardless of their place of incorporation. It would establish a mandatory National Registry of Digital Platforms, requiring companies to register before commencing operations in Argentina. Registered companies would be required to submit legal identification details, operational descriptions, documentation of algorithmic systems used for task allocation and pricing, model documentation including versions and technical specifications, and audit logs enabling the reconstruction of automated decisions. They would also be required to provide contact information for designated technical and legal representatives in Argentina. Companies already operating at the time of entry into force would be required to register within 120 days. The Bill would designate the Secretariat of Labour, Employment and Social Security as the authority responsible for enforcing the registration obligation.
