Have fun making the "unnecessarily" argument to a judge when you do your startup.

Have fun making the "unnecessarily" argument to a judge when you do your startup.
- dictum 7y agoIt takes a rare degree of micromanaging to run a $10b startup (for an appropriate comparison to Domino's) and worry when it's sued for some accessibility issue.
- squirrelicus 7y agoOkay. What's the boundary between those that have the right to not spend money implementing accessiblity in their website and those that don't have that right? Seriously, what's the boundary? What is the fundamental ethical reasoning that got you there?
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoIt's not a boundary of "fundamental ethical reasoning". It's a balance of societal desire and available resources. If your startup has assessed the question of accessibility, documented it, not actively worked against accessibility, done whatever internal leads consider reasonable within its cost constraints (eg, where costs allow asking/employing experts), then you're on track. Same goes for having a store with a step at the front. If you're making millions in revenue [through your website] but won't create an accessible colour scheme, or provide Aria tags, skip links, image descriptions, and such that are pretty much standard boilerplate nowadays then you deserve to be hauled up on it, IMO.
