EFF Leads 60+ Groups in Urging UK to Halt Facial Age Estimation at Border

EFF, Foxglove, Human Rights Watch, and over 60 organizations have written to the UK Home Office demanding a halt to Facial Age Estimation (FAE) for asylum-seeking children. The letter cites discrimination, inaccuracy, unlawful data use, and lack of transparency. The Home Office admits FAE has a 2.5-year error margin for 16-18 year olds, the exact age range targeted.
