Speaking of #overlays, there is yet another one: #WebAbility
I have already made a PR to add it to the Overlay Fact Sheet:
https://github.com/karlgroves/overlayfactsheet/pull/1189
As with other overlays, it makes WCAG/ADA promises, fails to fix stuff, replicates platform features (poorly) in CSS, and introduces WCAG violations just by adding it to a site.
Cool business model.

New Low in the Accessibility "Industry:" Overlay Company Sues Globally-Recognized Accessibility Expert
This is an article about a lawsuit filed by AudioEye, a multi-million dollar accessibility company, against Adrian Roselli, a long-time leader in the global digital accessibility community.Law Office of Lainey Feingold
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.
