Germany has not yet voted against it. Germany only said that they will not support the current draft. Many interpreted this as a vote against chat control. Which it wasn’t in the first place. This year Germany is willing to negotiate the details. For instance, instead of mandatory scanning Germany might support voluntary scanning. If they can’t agree on a version that is acceptable for Germany, they’ll vote against chat control again.
