I think most of us would clearly be wary of it because you could find out
what sort of *porn/sex* I like. I don't care if you know my religion (I'm
the spawn of Satan.)
I mean just imagine if some insider dropped images of the city manager

It's a reference to protected information; employers are prohibited from
considering race, religion, sex, age, etc. To ensure they don't, they aren't
allowed to solicit such information. I think the main problem was privacy,
but from the potential access to information that an employer may not
legally use is also problematic.
