[technology taskforce] Web Accessibility Victory

[Judith Hellerstein]

Hi All,

Just saw this on Facebook. The US Supreme Court refused to opine on a ruling 
letting the past ruling by the lower courts stand. That ruling found against 
Dominoes because its website was not accessible. This law now allows blind 
people to sue retailers if their websites are not accessible,

  The law says that the Americans With Disabilities Act protects access not just 
to restaurants and stores but also to the websites and apps of those businesses. 
This is a big win for accessibility.
