Seems like an undue burden to place on a small business owner. Having to both defend in one lawsuit and sue another party when they likely aren't knowledgeable or willing to take the risk of either.


shrug That's the legal system. I didn't make it.

A clause in supplier contract guaranteeing whatever - accessibility or all images being licensed covers you.


Cicrcling back to

> If this is required to get sites to give a shit about accessibility once again, great!

Given how enforcement works, I can't share your enthusiasm, and in fact I will oppose accessibility regulation.


Well, for the sake of people who need accessibility I hope you won't be successful with that.


Walk the path you propose and you will get a world where chains displace all other restaurants, where police swoop in on kids' lemonade stands.

Why? When you can make sensible regulations that target the service providers like shopify, or whatever restaurants use instead and just escape the dilemma?
