A blind man couldn't order pizza from Domino's. Now the company wants the Supreme Court to say websites don't have to be accessible

Guillermo Robles, who is blind, has tried to order a custom pizza from the fast food giant Domino's at least two times in recent years, using the company's website and mobile app.

Robles is one of an increasing number of Americans with disabilities who are bringing lawsuits under the ADA against businesses they say are discriminating against them by not providing accessible websites. The number of lawsuits over inaccessible websites has exploded recently. Last year, more than 2,200 such suits were filed in federal courts, according to the accessible technology firmIn its petition with the top court, Domino's wrote that leaving in place the lower court ruling for Robles would "turn that flood of litigation into a tsunami.

The suits so far have primarily hit those in the retail, food service and travel industries, according to UsableNet. A vast majority of the suits are filed by just 10 attorneys, the group found. "The current and worsening uncertainty favors no one, except perhaps the small class of plaintiffs' firms that have driven this litigation," attorney Gregory Garre wrote on behalf of the group.But Danielsen, of the National Federation of the Blind, said that the Justice Department's decision not to implement standard rules leaves room for businesses to develop new tools for accessibility.

Please do the work to make your order form accessible. dominos this isn’t a good look. I would do the work if you give me free 🍕 for life. My condition would be that you stop this nonsense.

Don’t be fooled these ADA lawsuits are professionals who drive around suing commercial buildings for varying shortfalls. Now doing the same thing with company websites. It’s a ‘racket’! It’s a cottage industry in CA.

Yeah Idk about that one, General. Law has nothing to do with wrong or right it's all about controlling the people and the market. The law is made up of criminals who abuse their power using fear mongering and scare tactics. The enemy of all Americans. Deal, if you make classified information available to the public 🤔
