#equalweb — Public Fediverse posts

FT article that references #AudioEye, #accessiBe, #UserWay (#LevelAccess), and #EqualWeb along with #overlays in general:

While it mischaracterizes the crappy algorithms as ‘AI’, the output is still shitty for users regardless of branding.

I appreciate that IAAP and the European Disability Forum essentially said #overlays are shit back in May:

But IAAP allows overlays as members, so it kind of undercuts the message (and assures I will not join).

Which is why I am happy the European Commission has confirmed #overlays are shit:
