BOSTON — Advocacy groups have sued Hulu in an effort to force the subscription streaming service to provide an audio track that helps people who are blind or visually impaired enjoy TV shows and movies.
The federal lawsuit filed Monday in Boston asks the court to declare that Hulu’s failure to provide services for the blind violates the Americans with Disabilities Act. The groups say Hulu has refused to do so despite repeated requests from advocates and customers.
The groups want Hulu to provide audio tracks that describe a scene, facial expressions or actions during a pause in dialogue.
