It may be protected by law, but in my opinion, why the hell would you want anyone who doesn’t need to know your income, know your income if you can choose not to disclose it?
To quote that great philosopher Shoresy: “So dumb”
Generally having all your coworkers share salary puts you in a better negotiating position - so there is an obvious financial reason if its reciprocated.
Also some people are vein and enjoy bragging.
I see a different perspective. Unless all salaries are equal and capabilities and efforts of those receiving them are perceived to be equal, the only thing that salary disclosure really does is create morale issues within an organization. If you perceive that John Smith is weak and lazy, but know he makes 20k more than you, that creates discord within you. If you attempt to negotiate an increase based on that knowledge, you might find that your organization doesn’t have the same opinion of John Smith’s value to the organization than you do.

Yeah, this was also my first thought. Granted, TikTok and Bytedance although they exist in the US are basically operated just like their 996 sweatshop brethren in China.
