I wonder if cloudflare blocks like these affect screen reader users, in which case they may violate the ADA.

I wonder if cloudflare blocks like these affect screen reader users, in which case they may violate the ADA.
And if they did violate the ADA, do you seriously expect this administration's anti-DEI Department of Justice to pursue legal action?
Yes because accessibility and DEI are different despite partisans' attempts to make "DEIA" a real thing.
I'm not expert on this, but it appears that the Dept of Justice rolls DEI and A into one DEIA, which makes some sort of sense since any litigation would be similar. Not sure about other federal agencies

Trump's team is rolling back DEIA already.
Did you read the executive order? It's not the left calling it DEIA. Its Trump.
> Sec. 2. Implementation. (a) The Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), assisted by the Attorney General and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), shall coordinate the termination of all discriminatory programs, including illegal DEI and “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” (DEIA) mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities in the Federal Government, under whatever name they appear.

So why is the Trump administration also removing accessibility features from government websites, and firing ASL interpreters?

You seriously think this administration gives a care about the disabled? They're already firing accessibility people in the government.

Right there in the executive orders. They're literally rolling back accessibility and making this a policy.
Read the EO yourself.

I can find you literally hundreds of posts from people insisting that ADA is nothing but a small-business-killing shakedown, that it's makework for lawyers, that it's doing nothing to help the disabled, and that it's just as bad if not worse than DEI. What makes your claim better than theirs?

In my experience, screen reader users stick to the mainstream browsers to preserve compatibility. https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey10/
