They probably use that to filter out people who know their rights.

Sounds like an employer that needs investigated by several departments.

I've been asked illegal questions, like "what is your current salary" in job applications before. I like to respond by calling it out and leaving a link to a source.

Ok, where is said source?

You're thinking of employment at will. Right to work laws prevent making payment of union dues a requirement for employment.

I mean uploading an image of yourself and not getting a job is pretty solid evidence of discrimination that no corporation wants the media to hear.

"Since our corporation maintains an office in Texas, we've had your case moved to a Texas court district with exactly one judge who just so happened to be appointed by trump to rule for corporations, enjoy running it up to the SCOTUS judges I take on cruises with me"

Nobody's going to take that case unless you have enough money to fund this as a vanity project. The conservative stacked courts will dismiss it out of hand and you'll be fighting your way uphill through a sea of increasingly hostile appellates.

You'd have better luck posting this shit to social media and trying to name/shame the business at hand. But even that is likely a dead-end, given how inundated with corporate flaks and civility police the modern social media ecosystem has become.

I couldn’t find any legal cases about “uploading an image or video of yourself”. But Google is awful so getting any sort of results is a massive pain. That doesn’t mean a case exists but employers do discriminate based on applicant names. Uploading an image would allow employers to filter out people they don’t want to hire based on income, disability, race, etc. That’s what’s illegal. Unfortunately, American laws related to technology are nonexistent.
