Match.com is blind to the needs of the visually impaired lovelorn, says a Virginia man in a Manhattan federal lawsuit.
Blind users can’t even create a profile for themselves on the dating site, claims Joseph DePhillips, a legally blind man from Arlington, in the suit filed under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
It’s “difficult, if not impossible, for blind customers to use the Web site,” DePhillips charges. “The lack of an accessible Web site means that blind people are excluded . . .”
The company is looking into the matter, a Match.com spokeswoman said.
