Freddie Mac has posted a video on YouTube, to help people avoid fraud when they find themselves facing possible foreclosure. I checked it out, and this video is not captioned. Is it required to be? No. Title IV of the ADA requires that any Public Service Announcements that get any funding from the Federal government be captioned. However, Freddie Mac is not a government agency; it is a private company that was chartered by Congress.
Even if they are not a Federal agency, Freddie Mac should have captioned this video. It is a de facto public service announcement from a private company. The information provided needs to be accessible to all.
