The very cool comments here that are totally for the protections of ADA if only it weren’t for the crummy enforcement mechanisms belie the fact that these protections are vitally important. The only reason I can reliably book a hotel is because these rooms exist and they’re advertised that way on the website. If we’re to have a system where we can only book hotels online and we want to protect vulnerable people, this is the only way we have to do it right now.
Absent changes to how businesses can have these complaints enforced on them, denying this remedy means we will not protect these people, and it would be dishonest to pretend otherwise
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.
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.
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).
