The hush hush survey is something all tech companies do in the US as well. They report their salary information to a third party company who then shares industry data back with all participants. I am not sure how this is not an illegal price signaling scheme. I heard this from a person who worked in compensation at a FAANG company.

This is true. It’s not illegal probably because why would it be? They’re “just taking surveys of aggregate salary data”.
This happens in EU as well. Wage suppression is real.
