uxdesigninstitute.com9 min read

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Following accessibility best practices doesn't guarantee legal compliance, and the rules differ across the US, UK, and EU. A four-question check covering market, provider, product type, and exemptions helps identify which of the ADA, Section 508, the European Accessibility Act, and UK laws may apply. Cases involving Domino's, Target, and Fashion Nova show the legal and commercial cost of ignoring them.
