The mechanisms analysed appear to indicate the existence of policy gaps in insufficient intersectoral approach to privacy and data protection on both regional and global levels. 4.3 Rights of people with disabilities and the Internet The Internet provides new possibilities for the social inclusion of people with disabilities, but at the same time offers challenges for accessibility. The lack of accessibility arises from the gap between the abilities required to use hardware, software, and content, and the functional capacities of a person with a disability. An appropriate policy solution can help in maximising use of the Internet by people with disabilities. Policy actions are moving in two directions:   Including accessibility standards in the requirements for the design and development of equipment, software, and content. Fostering the availability of hardware and software accessories that increase or substitute the functional capabilities of the person. Many web applications do not comply with accessibility standards due to a lack of awareness, or the perception that compliance involves complexity and high costs (which is far from today’s reality). 27
