What types of sites can be shut down for not having braille and subtitle support? Can I lose my hobby/blog domains?

I believe that's an open question currently and badly needs legal clarification.

One standard proposed at HN from time to time is that maybe websites with high revenue should be required to conform with a specific standard such as W3C's WCAG 2.1 AA.

But it's an open question and I don't know if lawmakers are even aware of WCAG, that would be nice.
