Why wouldn't government websites use it? Of all the websites I would want using WEI, banks and government services are pretty high up the list. It's not like government websites run ads or whatever (as far as I know). I wouldn't want things fucking with my bank accounts and I would opt-in in a heartbeat.
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoGovernment generally has to make its services as accessible as possible to its citizens. At least, that was the driver when I worked in government. It is one reason government is "less efficient" than the private sector; it has to be able to interact with everyone.
- fluidcruft 3y agoThis seems like arguing that https is less accessible than http and therefore https shouldn't be implemented in browsers. Accessibility is a website design issue. A website that relies on unofficial third-party hacks/userscripts/extensions/tampering to provide accessibility has completely failed to provide accessibility.
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoI'm not strictly talking about accessibility in web site design, although that is part of it. I just mean that government has to have ways for all/most of its citizens to interact with them.
