In many cases this could be argued as unconstitutional.

    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.

    In Lithuania privacy is defined as a fundamental right and it includes correspondence, digital or otherwise.

    Would that prevent passing laws enabling chat control? Doubt it, but I can see it as a good legal argument against it.

    According to the EU constitution?

    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.
