The biggest problem that confronts someone trying to spy on others is
the sheer volume of material that must be perused.  If a sysadmin (or
superuser) has a vendetta against one person, they can make that
person's life unbearable.  Otherwise, to find really good,
incriminating stuff on a network of large computers is like searching
for a needle in a haystack.
