Target faces a class-action lawsuit this week because their website was deemed inaccessible for those with disabilities like blindness. The judge struck down a motion to drop the case stating that Target must make its website accessible to those with disabilities just as if they were shopping in their physical stores. The judge cited the Americans with Disabilities Act, saying Target is legally obligated to serve its online customers with the same provisions as brick-and-mortar stores. Target is still hopeful that this will not be the final word, and the ruling has not been finalized yet, but this case does raise interesting issues and accessibility law considerations for many companies, depending on how this case turns out.
