The idea of having to include a headshot with a job application is insane to me. Unless you are in a public-facing role, your appearances are virtually irrelevant, and the information can only be used to discriminate against you for nefarious reasons.

This seems especially bad in places like France where the government explicitly does not collect demographic information on things like race and ethnicity. It allows employers to screen people based on race, but the government cannot prove it.
