Well, you challenge it in court. The thing is, there is no easy way for a
particular individual to go and challenge this if they don't have proof of
what is being done and how it affects them directly. However, I suppose by

have come after you, the evidence itself would have put you on the wrong
side of everything:)

Examining logs - I don't know what their equipment is capable of, but the
last time I checked, logs did not contain the content, like email content.
They'd provides clues though.
