There's some interesting comments in this post.  Most are hostile towards ADA but I think there needs to be a balance.  Hopefully, before California does something stupid (as it's apt to do) and imposes martial law on the world, they need to think about the real problem at hand, which is helping people with ADA.

Now, here's the thing.  It makes a lot of sense for those with sight impairment to go after a major website like Target.  But look at those words closely: MAJOR.  Any company that has a MAJOR website with tons of traffic should have some social duty to help the impaired.  Minor websites (like yours truly) require too much maintenance because only one poor soul can work on it at a time.

I hope for God's sake that the people in California for once make a sensible decision and only put the restriction on certain websites.  I think if they used some measurement, it ought to be something like only the first 200-300 top traffic sites in California should be forced to operate like this.  I don't think that's unreasonable and hopefully the people with visual impairment realize that sometimes they can't always have their cake and eat it too.  Either that or put the burden on the users' browsers rather than the websites themselves.
