Making social media accessible
Images
Images need alt text, so people who are blind or low vision can access the equivalent communication to that received by sighted users.
Videos
Videos need captions, so people who are unable to hear the audio can access the audio content via text.
Color contrast
Color contrast needs to meet specific, measurable accessibility requirements.
