MODERATORS
I’m assuming that addictive ui designs fuck with people with ADHD disproportionally. Since ADHD is considered a disability, could things like infinite scroll that can’t be turned off (for example) be considered an ADA violation?
A violation of which part of the ADA? Can you point an a specific part of the law that would cover it?
That was the question posed, yes.
And remains unanswered. The ADA is real law with real text; it doesn't just mean whatever someone wants it to. So I'm asking, in the text freely available at https://www.ada.gov/law-and-regs/ada/, where is the part that would apply in this case. There's even other parts of that site that break things down in laymen's terms. If the person doesn't understand the ADA, the opportunity to learn a little about what it does and does not cover is available.
Please see my response above which addresses your points using case law.
