Tech Talk | Safety & Deception: The Impact on Accessibility with Todd Libby – The Tech Academy How safe is the web for all users and where does design cross the line into deception? From misleading prompts to confusing layouts, deceptive patterns can quietly compromise both user trust and accessibility. Join Todd Libby, a seasoned web developer and accessibility advocate with 25 years of experience, as he examines how deceptive design practices affect digital safety and inclusion. Drawing from his extensive background in accessibility, Todd sheds light on how small design choices can create big barriers for people with disabilities. In this session, Todd will explore real examples of deceptive design, discuss their ethical and accessibility implications, and offer practical guidance for building safer, more transparent online experiences. Join us for this live Tech Talk on Friday, November 14 at 1 PM PST | 3 PM CST | 4 PM EST. Whether you’re a designer, developer, or simply curious about ethical tech, this talk will encourage you to think critically about the balance between persuasion, safety, and accessibility in digital spaces.
