Ask HN: Should the ADA Apply to Software?

The Americans with Disabilities Act requires businesses to make reasonable accommodations for people with physical limitations such as requiring wheelchairs.

Most of the software I encounter is not very accommodating (‘accessible’) to people who have sight problems or difficulty operating “standard” controls like keyboards, mice, or touch screens. Some cases are intentionally abusive and disproportionately affect such people, such as pop-ups and ads which intentionally obfuscate controls like close buttons, reducing contrast in size to the point that even people without disabilities have difficulty operating them.

Should we change the law so that people can sue software makers who failed to make their software accessible?
