Does the Americans with Disabilities Act apply online?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was a significant law passed in the United States in 1990. It aims to prohibit discrimination, safeguard the rights of individuals with disabilities, and provide them with equal opportunities in various aspects of life.
It is important to note that the ADA was ratified prior to the rapid advancement of technology, so it does not explicitly mention the internet. However, in the 30 years since its enactment, the ADA has been applied to websites and mobile applications multiple times in recognition of their status as vital public spaces that should be accessible to everyone.
