A bunch of people in this thread are suggesting that courts are being used as the first method of requesting accessibility, but this is untrue. Accessibility is a basic human right, recognised by the UN. It's somewhat unfortunate that Americans don't bother to learn about these rights, but they exist and have done for some time. CRPD was adopted in 2006. https://www.un.org/development/desa/disabilities/convention-on-the-rights-of-persons-with-disabilities/article-9-accessibility.html https://www.un.org/development/desa/disabilities/convention-... Disabled people have been asking web-designers to fix their websites for longer than many HN readers have been alive. The ADA law was introduced in 1990. W3C have been banging on about accessibility for many years. They formally took on accessibility in 1996. https://www.w3.org/WAI/history https://www.w3.org/WAI/history It's frustrating that web designers chose to blame people with disabilities for not being able to access web sites, rather than accepting that the blame lies with their both their low level of skill in creating accessible site and also their total indifference to disabled people.
