The Americans with Disabilities Act was a watershed piece of legislation. As we approach the 25th anniversary of the ADA, advocates want to fold another facet of daily life into the law: the Internet.

Net Neutrality, equal for all already out the window
Oh ya , when will they tell everyone the New Rules ?
Or work for nobody. Like most federal regulations, only the megacorporations will be able to afford the lawyers and specialists to be able to figure it out, thus if I want to sell books out of my garage I will have to go through Amazon to do it or else the ADA scammers (those who ask to use your store's restroom just to measure the height your toilet stall's handbars and the width of the doors) will sue you for having a non-ADA compliant website.
Progressive innovation!
They’re in a frickin wheelchair....
Speed? Really?
Net Neutrality Friendly Face intro - first, selective speed for the disabled. Who hates the disabled? Then children, then moms, then blacks, then gays, then some sort of fairness evaluation program with restrictions for presumably biased organizations (conservative) and religions (Christian) while “helping” muslims, all overseen by ultrafast access for people with humanitarian responsibilities, like, uh... the rich...
So don’t be a racist hater.
That would be 20th Century FedMob overreach. In the 21st Century all keyboards sold will be required to be Braille Compliant. Just as 60 yr old males are required to purchase insurance coverage for gynecological care.
LOL ... I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of any DISABLED BITS (and Bytes) ... :-) ...
“MARVIN PEARSON: Where’s login at? I don’t know why this ain’t working. Oh, there we go.”

Maybe the disabled dont want to go any faster. It makes me woozy, personally, already.
yes... just like every building has a wheelchair ramp, each computer will need a Braille keyboard and seatbelts

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
“Jun 11, 2014 - Among the major race and ethnicity groups, the prevalence of a disability was higher for blacks and whites than for Asians and Hispanics.”

Notice - it does NOT say percentage...
“BOOKMAN: On this point, the United States Department of Justice appears to be on Danielson’s side. The DOJ is scheduled to release regulations this month spelling out exactly what an ADA-compliant site is and to clarify which websites would have to meet those standards. In the absence of clear laws, lawsuits have been the go-to strategy. Companies including Target, Netflix and H&R Block have all reached settlement agreements. Others made site improvements after customer requests.”
The word "disabled" doesn't mean what it used to mean. Nowadays, millions of able-bodied liberals are collecting disability because their unemployment ran out or because they ran out of other options.
Nope. We will all have braille on our keyboards so that the blind can pick out any keyboard and it will be compatible.
Don’t forget your helmet and your finger pads.
