>photos and videos will lead to discrimination before the main part of what matters,
We're in such a connected age that anyone wanting to know your face can 99% of the time just google your name. That was an issue talked about even 20 years ago in my grade school days of Myspace.
Unless you legitmately have no photo of yourself on the internet (including LinkdIn), adding a photo here will not give or take much away from a malicious actor.
>There's a reason these things aren't standard in resumés
because companies are so scared of litigation that they won't even give feedback anymore. It's not a particularly good reason if we're being honest.
