Chancey Fleet, a technology educator, who serves as the vice president of National Federation of the Blind in New York, was invited to a private meeting with AccessiBe executives in February after tweeting concerns about the product.
“We will refuse to stay silent when overlay vendors use deception to market their products,” the letter said. “If a consumer comes into difficulty or problems with these sites, the site owner can say, ‘Hey, we comply with the accessibility guidelines. So you have no case’” to sue, said Steve Clower, a blind software developer who specializes in accessibility.
"Almost no one gives any specifics to actual websites that really don't work for them," Ekerling wrote in an email."This is because they don't really test us, nor have really used us. At most, they went on a website out of anger and didn't even try to understand." “I think the thing that’s gotten people mostly on edge is that the marketing makes us into the bad guys instead of users who want to use a website’s services,” Greco said.
The other case, which involved Masterbuilt Manufacturing, a grill company, was settled, followed by a voluntary dismissal in March, court records show. In leaked audio of the meeting obtained by NBC News, Ekerling said disability advocates and his company share the same goal of making the web more accessible and that their voicing their concerns about AccessiBe’s functionality was a “demonization” of the company."'Demonization' is not a term that I feel comfortable with," Fleet said."I'm talking about collective harms that occur.
The Fake News Media, working in close conjunction with Big Tech and the Radical Left Democrats, is doing everything they can to perpetuate the term “The Big Lie” when speaking of 2020 Presidential Election Fraud. Trump won and is the REAL president of USA. He is coming back!!!
Being blind must really suck.
But webmasters have been forced to comply by lawyers who couldn’t give a shit about blind people…
