Wow, that is a huge can of worms. I know that this is a problem w.r.t
privacy, but was unaware that the privacy laws have caught up with this.
Which countries do you know cover this?

How many *nix systems do you know of (for example) where multiple
and basically unidentified people have root access? And how many
Windows systems have you encountered where everyone knows the
admin password or worse yet everyone has admin access?

My answer: almost every *nix system and Windows system I have ever
worked on.

cheers
