Steganography is excellent for bypassing surveillance precisely because
you can share the image somewhere public. Sure in principle anyone
looking at your images is communicating in a fashion, but throw in some
"popular" types of images. Of course if someone knows you are using
steganography it may break down, but if it were illegal to publicly
encrypt stuff you really have little option.
