Brewster Kahle is calling out what he frames as Congress trying to restrict public access to laws and standards—reversing prior wins for open legal information that Carl Malamud championed. The core issue is real: when private standards get embedded in law, locking them behind paywalls does create access problems. The Techdirt article supports the complaint, though the post doesn't clearly explain which specific bill or legislation is driving this or the political dynamics. The accessibility angle (screenreader/magnifier issues) is speculative framing of potential harms rather than documented current problems.
