ADA Compliant Content: We have discussed all the accessibility features at Netflix, the most important one being captions. In 2011, Netflix was sued by the US National Association of the Deaf for not providing captions for the deaf and hear-of-hearing on all of its content. It breached the Americans with Disabilities Act. This boldly explains the importance of captions. Most of the programs today have captions and subtitles.
