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”
https://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).
Socks, lies, and accessibility
Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) is around the corner. Looking back at last year, I found some troubling things people in this field should be aware of. Because they're likely to be repeated.Jan Maarten (Jan Maarten – Inclusive designer, privacy advocate, writer)
#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:

#AudioEye Will Get You Sued

Let’s remember #AudioEye is a bully:

Its #overlay (still) does not work:
https://adrianroselli.com/2023/02/audioeye-will-get-you-sued.html
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.
My Cease & Desist from AudioEye
On Tuesday April 5, 2022, a FedEx driver dropped off an overnight envelope from Manhattan. It contained a three page Cease & Desist letter from Cozen O’Connor, the law firm representing AudioEye, Inc.Adrian Roselli
The folks over at @koena have been bullied by French #overlay vendor #FACILiti (and are not the only ones). France does not have the same anti-SLAPP protections as I did in my own case.
