How about I should be able to do whatever I want with my content without some slimy lawyer or smarmy internet commenter giving me a hard time?
What if archive.org had to comply to this for all their videos, audio and sites (no matter the language); they can delete mostly everything at that point.
Not to mention: how about games? In game video, game content; many games from the 80s and 90s etc (or current ones but there I do think accessibility should be addressed where possible) can be played by people with certain kind of disabilities if ‘fixed’, but they won’t be or cannot be; they should be removed from the web?
They either comply with the ordinance or fight it in court if they think it goes against the letter of the law. If they don't like the law, petition their representatives to change the law.
It's just grifting at this point.
The problem isn't how easy it is, nor how we should do this. It's that someone has a gun to every small business' head telling them to spend money/time/resources on something they may not have the ability to do immediately. No one should be able to tell me how to run my company, or my life. It's up to me to decide to be compliant to accessibility and if I don't it may cost me customers. It's not like handicap ramps that save people's lives in fires. This is a transcription. Ostensibly not NEARLY as important as other ADA regulations. But because of it's ambiguity and relative ease to determine who and who isn't following using data miners it's a cash cow for legal vultures.
* Israeli companies were given 22 years to comply. * Small businesses were required to comply as of 2020.
It's a ridiculous argument.
His about section: My name is Haim Michael, I am an eternal student and a lecturer. I chose to start running this web site to serve as my professional personal blog. Through this blog, I plan to provide more information about the services my company provides, publish my professional articles over the web and maintain my professional relationships both with my students and clients.
As per the regulations:
"Here are a few important points regarding IS 5568 compliance:
The law applies to public entities and every private organization that offers services to the general public. Private contractors with an average revenue of 100,000 New Shekels (NS) (Approximately $30,000 USD) or less are exempt from IS 5568. IS 5568 immediately applied to medium and large businesses with an average annual revenue of 300,000 NS or more. Small businesses must also comply with the law as of October 2020."
But thank you, this is insightful.
