Outrageous! #AudioEye, a so-called #accessibility overlay vendor, has sued @aardrian, a highly respected member of the Accessibility community! Adrian has spent countless hours unveiling the pitiful truth about overlay accessibility solutions, with AudioEye being one of the prime examples. These so called solutions not only FAIL to meet their promises, but they also manage to erect MORE accessibility barriers on the websites they’re supposed to be ‘improving’.
Instead of acknowledging their flaws and engaging with the community, Audioeye hides behind lawsuits, which makes them seem even more miserable.This behavior is a glaring testament to their true intentions - which seems to be anything BUT making the world a more accessible place.
Accessibility work is an emotionally draining field, and it’s sickening to think of what Adrian is being forced to endure right now. https://adrianroselli.com/2023/05/audioeye-is-suing-me.html #standWithAdrian #a11y #overlays #gaad23
