The EFF, alongside 30 civil society organizations, expresses grave concerns regarding the draft Data Use and Access Bill (DUA Bill) led by UK officials. Clause 80 of the bill undermines existing protections against automated decisions in law enforcement, allowing such decisions to be made based on various personal attributes without strong safeguards. This raises the potential for bias and discrimination, particularly impacting marginalized groups, as the bill moves forward despite acknowledged risks detailed in the government's own impact assessment.
The DUA Bill weakens protections on automated law enforcement decisions, increasing risks of bias and discrimination against marginalized groups through unregulated data use.
Clause 80 reverses protections against automated decisions in law enforcement unless special category data is involved, risking fairness and accountability.
