I think if we can show that things are worse we can turn this thing off.

Unless they understand assistive technology, I'm fearful that examples
would not work. AccessiBe has been in a few lawsuits, so showing that might
be the best way to go about it. Karl groves made his testimony in a case
public.

Catherine, thank you.

I have seen those, and passed them along. They aren't helping. What I
really need is examples specific to this site of things going wrong.

Dear Sandy,
That should not be to difficult knowing how bad their overlay thing works.

Sincerely,

Nate, thanks - but it didn't work! We need to provide actual examples from

the site.

Just tell them that disability rights organizations like the National

Federation of the Blind have spoken out against Accessibee and they

don't suggest any company using them.

hey all,


I'd really appreciate your help with this.


A client has been pressured into adding AccessiBe to their site
imagemd.org/


We have a version without the overlay dev.imagemd.org/. What I'm hoping

is

you guys find things AccessiBe makes worse and we can justify disabling

it.


Thank you so much!
