Germany's position has been reverted to UNDECIDED.
Despite expressing concerns about breaking end-to-end encryption, Germany refrained from taking a definitive stance on the Chat Control proposal during the September 12th LEWP meeting. A willingness to negotiate and compromise remains.
This is an unfortunate development as Germany is crucial to defeating Chat Control.

They can snatch a few people, but what if everyone starts doing that?
Well designed steganography would not be easy to detect if the authorities don’t know what they are looking for. Do they just beat random people to find out if they are sending hidden messages?
Okay you caught the person, so what?

With OTP, it could either be
KILL THE EMPEROR
or it could be
Bring the Condom (something that’s embarassing and plausible to want to hide, but not overthrowing the government)
or it could be any 15 character value, just think of any plausible thing you could possibly hide, to downplay what the real message is.
Deniable encryption like that will be a lifesaver if things get bad enough. Though I’m thinking more the kind where the encrypted content on a computer disk is indistinguishable from free space, and you have multiple passwords that decrypt different parts of the filesystem. That way you can be interrogated and/or beaten, “give up” and unlock your computer (using the decoy password), and still hide any incriminating evidence since those files remain hidden with no way for adversaries to even detect that they exist.
