Even younger picture cannot help those who are facing prejudice due to visible disability, deformity or racism.
Biases due to profile picture adversely affecting marginalized is not new, Airbnb's black guests and owners have documented this under #AirbnbWhileBlack forcing the company to make several changes to how profile pictures and user names work.
But LinkedIn never acknowledged these issues and has instead doubled down on visual identity now like having 'Video introduction' as a primary feature. I wouldn't be surprised if they introduce 'Upload your video to Sign in'[2].
