  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

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.

Where did you check that? The Vorratsdatenspeicherung has been ruled unconstitutional twice for example

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.
