For Blind Internet Users, the Fix Can Be Worse Than the Flaws

I am sharing this article since some of the companies producing  these 
overlays  are members, and involved in the policy making process to some 
extent.
Likewise some of the more recent WAcG changes seem? to enable the overlay 
concept, where both a back to basic progressive enhancement model and 
less of the all blind people use technology like our blind person  approach 
can  create solution
Even organizations creating courses on accessibility are failing on the 
inclusion front.
Hoping those here can circulate, hey its the new York times!

Companies say their A.I.-powered tools are the best way to fix accessibility problems online, but many blind people find they make websites
harder to use.
