My read is that they are only agreeing to make the site compatible with
screen readers. No mention of which screen readers, no mention of
compliance with any recognized standards, no mention of other assistive
technologies or even keyboard access without a screen reader.

They also are not admitting to any wrongdoing. The $6M settlement is
barely a slap on the wrist for a company with $59 billion in revenue
last year.
