not only do those overlays not help much, they provide almost no protection for accessibility lawsuits so use with caution. If you're not sure where to start, make sure that basic stuff like:
being able to tab through links and sections of your website (in a logical order)
alt attributes for images aren't missing (unless it's a pointless image, like a custom bullet)
aria-labels are implemented
contrast of text is compliant
and whoever mentioned popup date pickers was right...it's a black hole with no way out so be very careful when implementing those. safer to use another method

For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
