ADA Title III demand letters, WCAG version differences, and the EAA's June 2025 enforcement debut. The accessibility cluster covers what gets vibe-coded apps sued and what to do about it.
The European Accessibility Act is the EU's parallel to ADA Title III — but more prescriptive, more proactive, and now actively enforced. Most US founders building consumer apps have never heard of it. EU regulators have started sending advisory letters to non-compliant operators, and a handful of countries have already issued fines. Here's what changed in June 2025 and what to do.
If you're remediating an app for ADA or EAA compliance in 2026, the question is which WCAG version to target. WCAG 2.1 is what most current law references explicitly. WCAG 2.2 is what the next round of regulations and standards will reference. Doing the work twice is wasteful; doing 2.2 first costs almost nothing extra. Here's the differential.
If you operate a commercial website in the US, the odds of getting a demand letter went up again in 2025. Here's the actual data — federal filings, demand-letter estimates, state breakdown, the WCAG rules lawyers cite most, and what it costs to settle.
