I went looking for people to disable it on IRC this evening (only waited that long because I was AFK a lot recently) and the person that actually looked into it (happened to be a global sysop) so far was not comfortable doing this because there are "lots of local admins there".
Yes because that's a restriction for GS. Steward or global editinterface are what you need.
I'm not sure if there's a policy on whether or not to wait for locals when reverting a privacy policy violation (if you would have waited for less urgent changes) but just in case I commented in a few local places anyway.
With the current policy there is no real need to wait but asking/notifying locally first is the right thing to do. :)
btw, another issue to address is the footer's "Privacy policy" link on that site leads to a local redlink.
I suggest to file a bug for this. [[MediaWiki:Privacypage]] needs to be overwritten by the WikimediaMessages extension and/or all local messages cleaned up.
