Barrier‑Free Web Access Act

This portal allows individuals to report websites that use prohibited CAPTCHA systems or block access to essential services. The Act ensures that everyone — including people with disabilities — can access the web without discriminatory verification barriers.

Important: After clicking “Send Report via Email”, your email program may open without automatically filling in all the report details. This is a known technical limitation with mailto: forms and modern browsers, especially when security tools like Cloudflare Turnstile are active.

To be safe, you should copy the form fields from this page and paste them directly into your email client as plain text. This ensures all details are included and lets you format your report exactly as you prefer.

This is an example of a test email for the reports to show the formatting and template. Please note Cloudflare Turnstile is only required for form submission and the “Send Report via Email” button. If you're having technical difficulties, you can fill out the form normally and write the report directly in an email without the links. Confirming with Turnstile is still encouraged to protect this site against malicious, automated submissions. Malicious, automated reports are not permitted. Legitimate, legal, valid, benevolent automated submissions are allowed, but be aware this can cause Cloudflare Turnstile to fail.

What Is the Barrier‑Free Web Access Act?

The Barrier‑Free Web Access Act is an accessibility‑focused framework created to eliminate traditional CAPTCHA systems that block people from accessing essential online services. Many websites still use image‑based puzzles, audio challenges, or distorted text that can be impossible for users with disabilities to complete.

This Act prohibits all traditional CAPTCHA systems and requires websites to use accessible, non‑interactive verification methods instead. These include passive systems such as device attestation, behavioral verification, Cloudflare Turnstile, and other methods that do not require the user to solve a challenge.

The goal of the Act is to ensure that everyone — including people with disabilities — can access essential online services without being blocked by inaccessible verification barriers.

Report a Violation

Please provide accurate information. False or malicious reports undermine accessibility efforts.

Note: Due to a browser and email client limitation, the email that opens after clicking “Send Report via Email” may not automatically include all of the form data. You may need to copy and paste the information manually into your email.

Turnstile Notice: Cloudflare Turnstile may occasionally take longer than expected to load or may appear stuck. This can happen due to browser extensions, VPNs, privacy settings, or network conditions.

If Turnstile does not load after refreshing the page a few times, or if both the verification and the email submission fail, you can still submit your report using the “Submit Without Email” option below.
