Suggestion: Allow Workshop and Favourites Activity to be Privatised or Removed
Right now, NSFW Workshop items can show up in your Activity Feed whenever someone favourites or shares them. That means users, including people without credit card verification or age checks, can end up seeing adult content they never chose to view. And if you accidentally (or purposefully in some cases) favourite one of those items Steam basically puts you on public display for it, like a digital show trial.

Under the UK’s Online Safety Act, platforms like Steam are supposed to protect users (especially children) from being exposed to illicit material without consent. It’s honestly crazy that there’s no way to remove or hide this kind of stuff from your feed.

There really needs to be an option to:

1. Keep Workshop activity fully private (favourites, ratings, etc.), or

2. Let users delete individual activity posts from their feed.

Not being able to remove your own activity is already frustrating but when it involves 18+ material it becomes a serious issue. This change would make Steam a lot safer for younger users and for anyone who doesn’t want explicit stuff randomly showing up on their feed. (Or their actions public for anybody who's doing that... I would think?)
