In the UK, if you use some software internally and it is essential for work, then it has to be accessible or you are breaking discrimination laws.
It's even stricter if you take any type of public funding - and I'm pretty sure it's an EU-wide directive.

- Wowfunhappy 7y agoYour friends get mad at you for wanting the ability to do your job? Some “friends”.
