Can’t wait for the ADA lawsuit to hit.

Those lawyers are probably itching to start.

I was about the question how the ADA would apply to websites but then I bothered to check. I am surprised at how broadly the DoJ applies the "businesses open to the public" definition.

I think this is a good thing but I wonder at what threshold do they enforce this. If I decide to self-host some wiki on the most esoteric lore behind the game of Lemmings for my audience of six people, can I be fined and/or forced to shut down because my website doesn't adhere to the ADA guidelines for website accessibility? Because I'm an untalented hack who can barely stand up an instance of WordPress I am not allowed to publicly present anything on the internet?

I'm sure there is nuance to this but I couldn't find it. I'm not being hyperbolic either, I'm genuinely curious. I feel like this is the cops shutting down a 10 year old's lemonade stand because they don't have a license or health certificate. (Shaky analogy but you know what I'm driving at.)

A wiki on the esoteric lore of Lemmings isn't a business.

It is if your audience of 6 each pays you $1500 a month.
