... that organizations have been successfully sued for not using the alt attribute correctly on their websites? Source: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/joca.12307 I know it's behind a paywall but on page 5 it says ALT-text was at the center of the NFB vs. Target Corp. lawsuit. Target's website had no ALT-text, so instead of the screen-reader reading “Hoover Wind-Tunnel Vacuum Cleaner,” it would only recognize the item number, for example, J25423641654.https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4438989 explains that the lawsuit was successful and set a precedent. This next source discusses a successful Australian lawsuit that also focused on the alt attribute: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2000/aug/30/internetnews.sydney
