Blind Man Sues Playboy's Website for Not Being User-Friendly to Visually-Impaired: Report
« on: November 30, 2018, 04:02:32 am »
A blind man says he wants to read Playboy for the articles but can’t.

On Wednesday, Donald Nixon — who is legally blind — filed a lawsuit against the legendary company’s website, claiming that it was in violation of the American with Disabilities Act, TMZ reported.

Both Playboy.com and Playboyshop.com are allegedly not compatible with Nixon’s screen-reading software, which allows blind or visually impaired users to read the text with a speech synthesizer or braille display, according to the American Foundation for the Blind.

Based on court documents obtained by TMZ, Nixon argued that visually-impaired people could not “fully and equally use or enjoy the facilities, products, and services.”

I mean, if a man  with a penis can claim to be a woman, why can’t this guy sue Playboy?

The reason Dixon went blind is from frequenting the Playboy site too many times.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

And is that the fault of the web sites or the software?
