Reddit made deals with 3 accessibility apps to continue to use its API
Another issue Reddit protestors have raised is how the company’s new API policy would impact accessibility apps, which aim to help people with disabilities access the social media platform. Reddit has stated it would provide exceptions to these types of apps. On Thursday, Huffman said that the company had made deals with three of them: RedReader, Dystopia, and Luna.
Reddit is working on improving accessibility for its site and apps, the company said in a blog post.
“We’ve [connected] with a number of developers of non-commercial apps that address accessibility needs and offered them exemptions from our large-scale pricing terms,” Reddit said. “As of June 15, 2023, we’ve signed agreements with Luna, Dystopia, and Redreader; conversations continue with others.”
