Re: [External] RE: Draft Tweet for Review by End of Day Tuesday | Accessibility for Children Community Group

I believe from discussions I've had with members of their accessibility team that they are aware of the issue, but in general, accessibility issues can be reported here: https://help.twitter.com/en/resources/accessibility

It’s probably a stretch, but I wonder if Twitter has a feedback area for sharing that insight. But, yes, it’s not something we can change.

Hi Judy,
I may be misunderstanding your email, but the screenshot reflects Twitter's design in dark mode. There are indeed accessibility issues but unfortunately they reside with the platform and would be out of our control (the W3C page meets standard contrast etc requirements).

Best,
Emeline

Hi Suzanne and all,

Thanks for circulating a draft of the tweet.

I notice that a few things in the image appear difficult to read. I have checked the contrast against WCAG requirements, but am wondering about the blue link text on black background in several places, and also the medium-gray text on black background on a few lines near the bottom of the image. At least those are the color combinations that are showing on my monitor.

Thanks,

- Judy

Good idea. We can try to set up the LinkedIn group during Thursday’s chairs’ meeting and post this tweet the same day.
