Is your website a potential liability? Yes, it probably is. Over the last three to four years, there has been an “explosion” of lawsuits and claims by disabled people, asserting that businesses’ websites (and, increasingly, their mobile apps) were not accessible to them because they were not up to code with Title III of the […]
When plaintiffs sue companies alleging that their websites do not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), courts start by answering two threshold legal questions. Does the ADA apply to websites? And if it does, which websites does it apply to? At least seven federal circuit courts have answered these questions and have reached […]
Kurt Eichenwald sat down at the desk in his Dallas home office and logged onto Twitter. The prominent journalist and author was used to Internet invective — especially then, in the weeks after he posted a particularly inflammatory tweet about President Trump.

As our everyday world moves increasingly online, the digital landscape presents new challenges for ensuring accessibility for the blind.

Right now there’s an important battle playing out online and in the courts IRL, where many businesses are questioning whether they have to make their websites and […]
UPDATE: On Monday, October 7, the Supreme Court declined to hear Domino’s appeal, meaning legal uncertainty will remain. Should companies be sued if blind people can’t access their apps and websites? The issue is a matter of civil rights, some claim, but others argue it’s a pretext for lawyers to shake down innocent businesses. Now, the Supreme […]
The pizza chain is asking the Supreme Court to review a case that could push business websites to better serve people with disabilities. This is part of CNET’s “Tech Enabled” series about the role technology plays in helping the disability community. When the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in 1990, the internet wasn’t yet a critical […]
Digital Marketing is all around us. Through apps, emails, and social media, organizations are trying to get their message out.
