      In germany, it’s not technically unconstitutional (i checked last week because i assumed it should be) but it definitely feels like it should be unconstitutional. After WW2, there was a consensus to not surveil your own population, and this is a very important constraint to keep in mind.

          I yhink the declaration of the rights of man and citizens is in there somewhere. But I haven’t really looked at it since the Schengen treaty mess.

        According to constitutions of member states.
        At least here it’s worded in a way that chat control could be argued as unconstitutional (not a lawyer tho).

        I would not be surprised that any other sane constitution protects privacy, and by extension digital correspondence, under fundamental rights.
