Yes, I will update my #accessiBe #overlays post about the Sherwin complaint. But not until later — meetings RN.

If a proper attorney (not a bird lawyer) shares anything, read that. It will be better than mine.

Ah, like this one from @LFLegal:

New Class Action Lawsuit against AccessiBe

On June 24, 2024 Tribeca Skin Care, a small skin care dermatology practice in New York City, filed a class action lawsuit against overlay company AccessiBe. Relying on AccessiBe's promises about accessibility and ADA compliance, Tribeca purchased a 1-year subscription to AccessiBe’s "AccessWidget" a

And I updated my post “#accessiBe Will Get You Sued” with an embedded version of the Sherwin class action complaint.

@aardrian Interesting indeed. I was surprised to find the remediation cost of only $3500, but I took a peek at the website and would say it still has some obvious issues with contrast that neither accessibe nor this other party managed to fix?
@NicMakesStuff I did not look at the site. Yeah, $3,500 to fix suggests rather straightforward issues to remediate and a platform that is likely not too complex. If you see contrast issues then perhaps they were missed or the colors were changed since the remediation.
@LFLegal @aardrian I just saw your post and I must! read! this! complaint! It's 5 AM here and I'm about to do it now!
@LFLegal @aardrian That was lainey's post!
@ladyhope Yep, @LFLegal did a much better breakdown than I did — and mine was well after hers.
@aardrian @LFLegal Yep, she did an epic job with the complaint! I just finished reading.
@aardrian @LFLegal Sometimes I read filings at strange hours just for fun. Or while I'm between other things I'm following, which is a lot at once right now.

@ladyhope
I read them when I cannot sleep. Knocks me right out.

@LFLegal

@aardrian Really? They make interesting reading! Or at least for me. I guess that's because I'm ordinarily a case unwinder.
@aardrian I mean I follow cases.
@aardrian OK I'm gunna do it now hah. Recreate my PACER account, that is. It's in my old name and I've lost access.
@aardrian Oh hey I'm reading your post and I've been trying to find an Ubo filter for overlays. I asked on the subreddit, but they were like you have to give us an URL. I did give them one, I happenn to find one earlier that day, but they said they couldn't find it hah. Yay there's one out there!! I do have the extension installed in Chrome, of course, but I've switched to Firefox.

@ladyhope uBlock Origin? I don’t use it but the URLs listed here might help:
https://www.accessibyebye.org/

While that links to a Chrome plug-in, it could still be useful.

AccessiByeBye

@aardrian Yeah uBlock origin. I have Accessibyebye installed in Chrome, well Brave. I've switched to Firefox due to MV3.
@aardrian Well and the fact that I have an RSS extension installed there and it just works.
