Hey. Turns out #AudioEye might be just as immoral as we all suspect:

“Lawsuit Accuses NASDAQ-listed AudioEye CEO and its Executive Chairman of Stock Manipulation”
prnewswire.com/news-releases/l…

I pulled out its CEO’s threats against the whistleblower so they are easier to read:

#accessibility #a11y #overlay


I got name-checked in Jessica Weber’s 2024 #AccessU Legal Update! It was for #AudioEye’s SLAPP #overlay suit.

Got to lunch very late because people wanted to ask me questions, but not in front of the AudioEye executive who was in the room.

“Socks, lies, and accessibility”
janmaarten.com/gaad-2023/

Where @janmaarten shows that just a couple days after #accessiBe’s CEO promised to stop being such a lying liarface it went and used sock puppet Twitter accounts to promote its #overlay.

As I keep saying, past behavior is a predictor of future behavior (side-eyes #AudioEye, #UserWay, #FACILiti).

#a11y #accessibility


#AudioEye has a blog post where its CAO talks about “trust, transparency, collaboration, and innovation.”

Which is code for rebranding its #overlay product without issuing refunds for its prior guarantees.

Anyway, I offer my thoughts in a bit more detail as a comment on the post that got me sued:

Let’s remember #AudioEye is a bully:

Its #overlay (still) does not work:
adrianroselli.com/2023/02/audi…

It SLAPPs critics (I am not the only one):

…and in the end harms users and #accessibility industry as a whole:

Throwing investor money at a clear PR ploy is not a fix (didn’t help #accessiBe). If anything, it highlights the scam.

Reputation washing works both ways. I feel bad for its new CAO who likely had good intentions.


#AudioEye Taps #Accessibility Industry Veteran Mike Paciello as Chief Accessibility Officer, or, as one person in the a11y Slack community (not me) put it: "Renowned Lung Cancer Specialist Joins Tobacco Company": prnewswire.com/news-releases/a…


AudioEye Has Dropped Its Suit Against Me

#overlay #AudioEye


When someone offers you evidence-based criticism, do you:

A. Respond by making changes/improvements
B. Throw a tantrum and sue your critic

#AudioEye chose B and is suing @aardrian
adrianroselli.com/2023/05/audi…

Makes you wonder, doesn't it? #accessibility


An accessibility overlay vendor (#AudioEye) is suing @aardrian, an accessibility specialist, in the United States of America.

I've already shared this story before. The news is that his attorney has filed a motion to dismiss under New York’s anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) law (what doesn't really exist in France).

Quick reminder that AudioEye is a member of the IAAP (International Association of Accessibility Professionals)… If this makes you feel bad, it's normal.

Search Engine Land (guest/paying author) is pretty clear that you should not use accessibility overlays (such as #accessiBe, #UserWay, #AudioEye, etc):

“Are you using an accessibility overlay to help disabled users? Don’t!”
