Turns out half the internet has a single-point-of-failure called “Cloudflare”

It might be worth filing an ADA compliance notice against cloudflare. This is seriously disturbing.

As someone that works in ed tech - anyone that supports higher education is required to support screen readers etc. If any of those sites are using cloudflare that would block them from being compliant pretty seriously.

I'm not american, otherwise I would definitely do so.

This issue is mostly unnoticeable, as long as you're not considered malicious to Cloudflare, everything works perfectly and passes accessibility audits. When something weird happens and Cloudflare flags you, you cannot access the system at all.

For those doing accessibility audits out there, this kind of issues might be worth looking into, as they're very non obvious and very critical.
