    Dude, literally nobody here is calling for the abolishment of the ADA “and it would be dishonest to pretend otherwise.” What they are complaining about is how easy it is to abuse reporting, which hurts both the business serving a market and the people who the ADA is designed to help.

      abolishment of the ADA

      Except that’s precisely what the case is about, everyone commenting here is against this form of enforcement, so yes that’s exactly what’s happening. If a business is non compliant my only remedy is to sue them to make them compliant.

        My dude, you keep on walking headfirst into the point:

        everyone commenting here is against this form of enforcement

        Yes, that’s what the commenters on this story are complaining about, not the concept of the ADA itself.

        Absent changes to how businesses can have these complaints enforced on them,

        This right here is what the other posters want to see changed. Don’t conflate posters here agreeing with the article’s point (that the enforcement mechanism in the ADA is easy to abuse for bad-faith litigants) with people who want to see the ADA gone.

          Then change the law. Absent a change in law, what you’re advocating for is making the ADA gone.

            Then change the law

            Holy fucking god, that’s the point we’ve all been making. The ADA should not allow assholes like the ones going before SCOTUS to exist. Once again, you’ve walked right into the point.

            Absent a change in law, what you’re advocating for is making the ADA gone.

            I literally said the exact opposite of this.

        That’s not true, in most cases you can let the company know and they’ll correct the issue themselves without court order because they likely didn’t even think of the scenario. My work has had to build/move/change several things over the years as different parts of the business are noticed to not be accessible

        The ADA needs government regulators. But it was signed into law by a Republican president, having been “compromised” to be “bipartisan” (had its balls cut off by Republicans).
