What does this mean?
An <img> element inside a link must not specify alternative text that duplicates the
content of a text link inside or beside it.
For example, this code should be avoided:
<a href="/apple">
<img src="apple.png" alt="Apple">
Apple
</a>Accessible technologies will tend to see this as "Apple Apple". The correct behaviour is to
specify either a null (empty) alt attribute:
<a href="/apple">
<img src="apple.png" alt="">
Apple
</a>or to hide the image via aria-hidden:
<a href="/apple">
<img src="apple.png" aria-hidden="true">
Apple
