Image description: a blurb from the linked article where the author writes, “ Apple’s release of The Greatest is notable for more reasons than one. Consider recent events in the tech sphere that affect the disability community. Over the weekend, Post co-founder Noam Bardin, whose still-in-beta Twitter alternative is moving fast, incensed disabled people and their advocates by announcing in a post that accessibility isn’t something “we are working on” for the foreseeable future because it’s viewed internally as a lower priority than, as Bardin paradoxically wrote, “getting everyone in.” His astounding show of cognitive dissonance comes on the heels of Elon Musk firing the entirety of Twitter’s accessibility team early this month, leaving many Twitter users with disabilities (myself included!) feeling incredibly uneasy over the service’s accessibility to them in the long term.”
Ahead of this year’s International Day of People with Disabilities, Apple on Wednesday posted a short film to YouTube, titled The Greatest, that showcases people with disabilities using Apple’s accessibility technologies to live their lives.
