Perhaps the needs of the many should outweigh the needs of the few?

  The convenience of the many outweighs the needs of the few.

  There is little need of any sort of trade off as simple enough sites are trivial to make accessible.
• wpietri 7y ago
  No. One, the needs often aren't in conflict. Building an accessible website doesn't hurt people who don't need it. Two, government is there to serve everybody, and in practice a lot of the people it serves directly are the ones already neglected by commerce, so it needs to be especially good at not just ignoring "the few".

  I think that this is the exact opposite of the point of government programs. We try to build these programs in such a way that they avoid the tyranny of the majority. Especially when you consider that those who need accessible interfaces are more likely to need government assistance in other parts of their lives.
