Description
Expected behavior
The VoiceOver should treat the author information section as read-only.
Actual behavior
As titled, the author information section is treated as interactive.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Navigate to any comment threads.
- Turn on VoiceOver, and wait until the screen reader reads the author information section.
- Verify that the screen reader treats the author information section as interactive.
Here's a screenshot:
Notice the part highlighted in blue. The screen reader reads the above as "Author Name, author, 2 days ago, double-tap to activate".
Tested on Samsung A52s, Android 11, WPAndroid 18.8

Trace the comment author information UI and verify that the author section is exposed as read-only rather than interactive; done when the screen reader no longer announces an activation action.
