Target Targeted

Target has been sued by the National Federation for the Blind because their website is not accesible to people with impaired vision. From the Tech Filter article:

The grounds for this lawsuit are that web sites apply to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the California Unruh Civil Rights Act, and the California Disabled Persons Act. Target was initially asked to just make their web site accessible and they (Target) moved to have the case dismissed due to there being no law that applies to the Internet or web sites involving the ADA. A federal district court judge, Marilyn Hall Patel, proved them wrong and the plaintiffs are going ahead with the lawsuit due to Targets unwillingness to make the web site accessible.
