I am absolutely gobsmacked by the journalistic achievement that @mozilla pulled off with their mental health, prayer, and lifestyle app audit.

Highly worth a read if you are like me and live in the orbit of these trendy app-based therapy services.

Top Mental Health & Prayer Apps Fail at Privacy, Security

Despite dealing with issues like depression, suicide, domestic violence, and PTSD, these apps share data freely and raise many security concerns

@mozilla @msprout I wish I could read what @mozilla has to say

Unfortunately, for some #accessibility is as unimportant to some as #security is to others.

Security and #privacy are things that are important to all of us, not just people who can #read the #Mozilla #website without the need for a #ScreenReader.

Hey Moz, show us who matters without showing us who matters!

#LivingWithDisabilities

@zyz need a transcript or something? (would that even be the right word here?)

@Rush nope. It’s a matter of coding the website/web page to allow #ScreenReaders to remove unnecessary content and permit the technology to focus on giving providing the subject information.

If your average document is readable by a screen reader (it is), then it is #coding that removes or interrupts the tech.

In other words, this kind of #accessibility is a choice

At least that’s how I see it.

@zyz I looked at the sent and served source of the web page, and it returns okay HTML that *should* be read fine in accessibility software (as far as I'm aware). Are you sure there's not something else causing this?

@Rush I am sure. I’ve been using screen readers for years

My familiarity with coding goes back to my first computer- a brand new Commodore Vic-20 in 1982. I taught myself html the year before Microsoft released the first webpage html editor that I know of- I think it was called Frontpage

I also recognize that my particular disability permits for a great many opportunities for confusion, however in this case I am sure that I understand what to do

(I had another way to read it.)

@zyz that's quite odd I'd say

Can you give me a rundown of your setup (as in software you use for this purpose)? I wanna see if I can replicate the issue on my system and then formally report it to the correct places if I can.

@Rush I use Siri’s Content Reader on an Apple device

My settings include larger than normal font settings, and I swipe down from the top of the screen to initiate the reader

@Rush via highlighting the text a section at a time and having Siri read that portion of the page

@zyz oh, seems you were already on it, I'll be trying to replicate this on my iPad, if I can  

Thanks!

@Rush No problem. You may find that there is an issue with its ability to #synchronize Siri’s voice with highlighted text. It’s a known issue that I’ve been talking to #Apple #Accessibility (US phone number: 877-204-3930) about for about a year

More voices to amplify the #sync problem to Apple would be great, but they are wonderful at addressing most problems.

I recommend that people who are #LivingWithDisabilities call that number for Apple #assisstance
