People should always consider the "abusive friend" scenario with regards to privacy.

Even marriages can be extremely abusive...

The assumption that people on your friend's lists, Steam or anywhere (even just people in the same household) should be able to see your personal information, such as computer use, is a bananas assumption. It is an assumption that I'm pleased to say has failed privacy reviews at at least one company larger than Steam.

People should also remember that scaling means very small percentages are still very big numbers. 0.01% of active steam users is still several thousand people. Which may seem small but it is probably 10x more people than you're friends with and more than every person you know. We get so used to seeing big numbers that we think they're small.
