To truly understand the decision, you have to read through Webwork's post as well as the American with Disabilities Act. This was more or less a formality, and the web will have to adjust much like telecommunications industry had to in the early 90's. For those who are upset with this, it will just become a part of running a business online.

My biggest issue with the decision is the fact we really don't have a set of standards in place. We will most likely see a group of professional plaintiffs in the coming years push the envelope on what is discrimination and what isn't. My fear is that it will be pushed so far that it hurts small business online and sets a higher barrier of entry.

What other forms of discrimination will come next is the question we should be asking and preparing for online. Will those with carpal tunnel be discriminated from because they can't scroll down on your site, click a mouse, or type in their credit card number?
