In late 1900, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed into law. It sets a precedent for accessibility requirements. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires handicap ramps to be constructed into buildings to provide for easy access. All auxiliary aids must be offered to disabled individuals, according to the ADA. All videos, short films, and movies for deaf and hard of hearing or hard of hearing people must include closed captions. Although the Americans with Disabilities Act does not specifically include internet videos, captioning is required to make them accessible to those with hearing impairments.
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) regulates radio, television, the internet, and other kinds of communication. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) upholds communication rules that protect the media and related businesses. To compensate for the closed captioning limitations for material, the FCC has made numerous limits for online videos mandatory.
