Blind People Sue Target Because They Can't Surf Their Website. Yes, For Real. - GoFuckYourself.com

Apparently blind people claim that websites are covered by the Americans With Disabilities Act. They found a judge that agrees.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15419164/

Quote:

Last month a federal judge in California allowed the NFB's case to proceed, rejecting Target's argument that its Web site wasn't subject to the Americans With Disabilities Act, a 1990 law that requires retailers and other public places to make accommodations for people with disabilities. Target argued that the law only covered physical spaces.

The case, which is entering a pretrial phase called discovery in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, could set an important precedent for applying federal accessibility law to the Internet.

This is downright silly. Blind people cannot see. While I'm sure in some cases they can use computers, I'm pretty confident they cannot use Yahoo or Google.

Damian_Maxcash · 10-25-2006, 07:15 PM

This means we are going to have to supply them all with audio and interactive fleshlights.....

Sly · 10-25-2006, 07:16 PM

Blind people use software that enables them to view websites and work on computers. Some are voice oriented for those with total blindness, others magnify images on the computer for those that are only partially blind. Because of that, I have absolutely no idea how they could sue anyone.

Fuck. I could sue every software and computer company out there. Woohoo. Pay day!

Danielsen is blind. He's using a software program called Jaws that converts the text on a Web page into a computerized voice that comes out through a speaker

I wonder how the V1aG&#ra spam-emails sound on his speaker

rhon23 · 10-25-2006, 07:23 PM

people who are classified as blind sometimes are not entirely blind. I am about 70% blind in my right eye and sometimes have problems with my left. But I wouldnt sue any website for this. It is my own personal hell.

Sly · 10-25-2006, 07:23 PM

All I know is that blind people can't work either. How would they see what they're doing?!

They have software that reads the pages out loud if the page is coded right.

Every site I have ever designed complies. Been a selling point for years to my clients.
