Re: No way!

Okay, so Google's official stance on accessibility that rankles me, personally:

"We want to make information available to everyone, and that includes people with disabilities..." link (First sentence, second paragraph down)

From the title of "Making the web more accessible, one step at a time", "users with special needs face a lot of challenges when trying to access websites they are interested in", link (First paragraph)

"It’s hard to imagine a world in which the right to participate in activities commonly enjoyed by the bulk of the population are denied or inadequately accommodated, but that was the case before ADA." Umm, excuse me Google, we're still fighting for our rights, and the ADA only applies to the USA, not the world, thankyouverymuch. Now take your Americancentricness and GTFO.
"...we’re serious about honoring our mission to make the world’s information universally accessible and useful. You can keep up with our progress at google.com/accessibility."
"There still is work to be done to meet the goals of ADA, and we are committed to doing our part." All of this is here
