## AI overview

The article examines whether user-generated content on websites can create exposure to ADA or other web accessibility claims. It explains that users may create content that fails WCAG, but suggests a demand letter is unlikely when the rest of the site is accessible; providing tools and a framework that support accessible user content may reduce vulnerability.

## Source excerpt

There's a decent chance that your site has some amount of user-generated content: forum posts, product reviews, and even user accounts can qualify. If you've got a fairly complex website, you might provide users with a considerable degree of control over the content they create -- they might be able to change fonts, for example, or embed links.
