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.
