Blake Reid on Internet Accessibility

In this episode, Blake E. Reid, Associate Clinical Professor and Director of the Samuelson-Glushko Technology Law & Policy Clinic at the University of Colorado Law School, discusses his article "Internet Accessibility." Reid begins by describing the Americans with Disabilities Act, how it promotes accessibility, and how it has been applied to the Internet. In particular, he discusses the role of the "place" metaphor in structuring the application of the ADA to websites. He explains why considering both internal and external perspectives on the Internet may help implement accessibility reforms more effectively. And he discusses recent developments in accessibility policy at the FCC. Reid is on Twitter at @blakereid. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
