Removing the presence of those arbitrary strings in the HTML you serve would not serve any practical purpose; any fears based on the presence of them are unfounded. If it would make your visitors more… comfortable… you could set up a web filter to blindly search and replace the words `twitter` and `facebook` in your responses? That’ll probably break something (e.g. settings editing) and they would no longer be able to talk about REDACTED or REDACTED, but it would do. I don’t see anything actionable here that serves a meaningful purpose. Do you have a specific goal other than “don’t talk about X”? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/remove-all-traces-of-social-media-on-my-website/300894)._
