As technology and artificial intelligence become more embedded in the world around us, the need for inclusion in such technologies becomes more apparent. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted long before the concern of web accessibility, in fact, 2020 marks the 30th anniversary of the law's signing. Although the ADA has requirements for public accommodations that enable people with visual, hearing, mobility, cognitive, and other disabilities to obtain access to services, it has been unclear to certain parties whether these legal requirements also pertain to the digital space. With the abundance of services provided online almost every part of daily life involves technology, therefore, providing equal access to online services remains a major concern.2 http://www.lexis.com/research/xlink?canceldest=form&keyenum=25271&keytnum=0&searchtype=get&search=21-10%20Mealey%27s%20Litig.%20Rep.%20Cyber%20Tech%20E-Com.%201%20(2019)&view=full&ORIGINATION_CODE=00144 target='_blank' WASHINGTON, D.C. - On Dec. 9, Amazon Web Services Inc. filed a redacted version of a sealed complaint it originally filed against the United States, by and through the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), on Nov. 22 in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, alleging that the department's decision to award the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) contract to Microsoft Corp., rather than to Amazon, was based on a dislike for the company by President Donald J.
