Domino’s Fights a Website Accessibility Ruling in The Supreme Court | Eater
"After a blind California resident, Guillermo Robles, tried and failed on two occasions to order a custom pizza via the company’s website and mobile app, he sued in 2016 arguing that the Americans With Disabilities Act applies to online platforms run by brick-and-mortar businesses. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit agreed and ruled in his favor, but the company has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to review the decision, contending that extending ADA obligations online would trigger a flood of litigation and that clear government standards for web accessibility are lacking. National business groups have backed the petition, while disability advocates point to established international accessibility standards and stress that embedding descriptive code for images and interactive features to support screen-reader users would both comply with accessibility needs and broaden the customer base. The Supreme Court will decide in the fall whether to hear the case, which could significantly shape how websites for physical businesses must accommodate people with disabilities." - Brenna Houck
