While I agree the UK law is nuts, and its citizens either need to revolt or kill all their children & stop breeding (probably for the best) to comply with their law, I'm just writing about principles for robust web content like don't just post an image of text

  1. the disabled can't read &
  2. that's vulnerable to failure for any number of reasons including geoblocking due to insane laws.

Text alternatives are resilient to failure & provide richer features (usability, accessibility) than images.

    Oooh, I see, you meant text alternative in the post. For some reason, my mind went to a service like imgur but it uses something to fallback to text, assumedly in part to display an alternative to an image to avoid the UK nanny laws instead of needing to back out entirely. So that's where the whole "that won't avoid the issue" response came from.
