That's a legal issue. If humans wanted that content to be up, we just could have agreed to keep it up. Legal issues don't get solved by technology.

  Well. The legal complaint was that transcripts don't exist. The issue was that it was prohibitively expensive to resolve the complaint. Now that transcription is 0.1% of the cost it was 8 years ago, maybe the complaint could have been resolved. Is building a ramp to meet ADA requirements not using technology to solve a legal issue?

    Nowhere on the linked page at least does it say that it was due to cost. It would seem more likely to me that it was a question of nobody wanting to bother standing up for the videos. If nobody wants to take the fight, the default judgement becomes to take it down. Building a ramp solves a problem. Pointing at a ramp 5 blocks away 7 years later and asking "doesn't this solve this issue" doesn't.

      Yet this feels very harrison bergeron to me. To handicap those with ability so we all can be at the same level.

        Right. The judgment doesn't help people with disabilities at all. It only punishes the rest of the population.

  Yet. Legal issues don't get solved by tech yet!
