I work in accessibility as an engineer. Now that digital web properties are included the ADA, there are law firms out there essentially doing the same thing. They are actively scanning the internet to find companies who have accessibility issues which are primarily widgets or overlays. Then they're emailing them the issues and "allowing" them 90 days to correct the issues, otherwise, they will be sued. There's been like a 400% increase in these suits over the last two years because you can go after a large company and even if they fix one issue, you can find another issue and sue or threaten them on that one as well. My co-workers think its great because of the pressure to solve these issues that really do need to be fixed. But like in this instance, its a fine line between doing something positive and extorting money for yourself or in our case, a law firm.
