It's kind of tongue-in-cheek but NAD is ruining this great resource for he rest of us.
Thinking about what's easier if the choice is take down all material and not spend money on a lawsuit or spend even more money to add captions there is an obvious choice for universities to make :-/
- endswapper 10y agoUniversities, as institutions charged with shaping our future should absolutely be held to a higher standard. It's not about what's easy, but about what's right. Additionally, providing inclusive access should be a point of pride and a highlight of the community and culture that executes it.
- imglorp 10y agoWhat is Youtube going to do when it's their turn? Netflix already got sued. With 300-400 hours of user content uploaded _per minute_, Youtube would need to employ a small country to provide human subtitling at that rate. The automated subtitles have a ways to go still. Do they get a pass because it's not their content? Do they get a pass because it's almost impossible to provide? Or do they suck it up and CC everything at great expense to everyone?
- guitarbill 10y ago> Do they get a pass because it's not their content? I mean, that would be equivalent to suing a gallery because paintings are "discriminatory". Or the painter. Obviously ridiculous.
