How to completely disable all community/activity content?

[Mikp]

In my settings, I have set the community content as disabled, but I can still see announcements from people who are in my Friends list. How can I disable this?

And worst of all, I can see my own info appearing as content in Activity (Achievements, cards etc). This is a very concerning breach of my privacy, because I can't tell if this gets sent to people who are on my Friends list.



EDIT:

I just noticed that a moderator had marked this as "answered". This is a lie. My question had not been answered and all I got were moderators who did not understand why a person would never use Steam as Facebook and accused me of editing my original text. I have sent a complaint to Steam support about these people, but I don't expect anything to happen.


EDIT 2:

I have now removed the post marked as an answer.

Perhaps contact support to disable your entire Steam community profile.

I am not entirely sure what Jesus has to do with providing a suggestion / trying to help a user? Please dont post if you have nothing constructive to add.

How about you don't answer anything or maybe instruct people who actually know the answer to the post, if YOU can only start by insulting people? Your "answer" added nothing constructive to my question.

I provided you with a (possible) olution to your problem. What exactly is the issue?

Not entirely sure who is insulting you either.

You did not offer a solution.

And at the moment you are acting very unprofessionally. Please ask your superiors to teach you how to act professionally.

Solution: "Perhaps contact support to disable your entire Steam community profile."

If you are not interested in a solution I might as well lock this up.

I am going to lock this up as clearly you are not interested in the provided solution and just want to stir up trouble.

Feel free to follow the suggestion.

You know what, here, let me show you:

"Hmm, someone started a thread in the forums about a possible breach of their privacy. I better send this forward to the developers and inform the thread that it has been sent forward and hopefully, with the developers busy schedule, they can see how to fix it."

What you did:

"Hmm, I'll just offer this non-solution."

You have editd your OP now, but you asked for a solution for your privacy concerns. Disabling the community profile part would fix that.

The developers read this forum, no need for me to pass it on. Especially if there is a (possible) solution readily available to you.

If you don't want to see other people's community activity on your feed nor want them to see your activity, then make your profile private and unfriend everyone.

I have not edited the OP! HOW DARE YOU!


Disabling a community profile is not the solution. What you are describing is dropping a nuke to a small pond. The activity box should be disabled with the rest of the community content.

My profile is private and unfriending should never be a solution.

Your thread title literally is "How to completely disable all community/activity content?", hence the only possible solution.

Although maybe Matt's suggestion could work as well.

The options are opt'in, so if you dont want to use the social features, simply dont.

What part of "breach of privacy" is too hard for you to understand?

It depends on your regions laws plus your achievements in games more then likely is not covered by this plus as they have given you possible ways to disable it.
