    Europe didn’t have a law about it until 2016.

      Europe doesn’t set all the rules at the EU level, this type of thing was probably law in many EU countries before it was law at the EU level.

        Mellvar is completely wrong, the law was drafted in 2000, and became compulsory in 2009 because there were a couple of countries that hadn’t complied

        Not sure what agenda they’re pushing, or if they’re confused with the new law that says that all web based sites now have to be inclusive

          How so if anything it counters it. Europe had made changes to the law to ensure help.

          While not being g in America there’s a huge selection bias from the media no doubt tha sure as shit ain’t happening

              That’s fair but it’s also not the point of the post which is the us rolling back the laws that help people. Your just keeping an ultra narrow focus because you think it’s helping hide that fact

                My point is that it’s a bad example.

                No I’m not.

                While the wikipedia page you cite does have a section heading called “1945-1992”, that’s only because it uses WW2 and the EU treaty as endpoints. Not because laws were being passed in 1945. Moreover, the cited page doesn’t list country-level laws in 1945-1992, it lists international treaties; and the earliest listed treaty is from 1953.
