<p>WordPress 4.9.6 added a few tools to help you creating and displaying a privacy policy or assist with requests for exporting/erasing personal data.<br />
Depending on your location or type of install (the tools may not be suitable for Multisite or large networks), you may have already taken measures to comply with existing privacy laws or/and you do not need them at all.</p>
<p>With this plugin, all the new admin screens will be disabled to prevent cluttering your admin with more unused items. It also prevents showing you the feature pointer if you install this plugin before the update.</p>

Disable Privacy Tools

Thank you for releasing this plugin, Dominik!

I think the whole Privacy Tools thing is plugin territory to begin with, but that's probably a whole different story/discussion.

Anyways, thank you for coming with this counter measure, to give people free choice again :)

Cheers,
Pieter

great plugin that disables core "functionality"

I'm just glad I didn't have to build another plugin to disable core features. So, thanks for saving me some time. :)

Thanks!

Nice & Easy. 

BTW, as of today (WP 4.9.6 RC1), when the Privacy Tool erases a person's private data in comments, it changes the commentors name to Anonymous, which is fine, but it puts a link to it which points to https://site.invalid, which will result in a bunch of broken link, which of course Google will dearly punish you for all the broken links.

Perfect !

Removes the tools for creating a privacy policy and exporting/erasing personal data.

Generaxion

<p>The plugin contains the features and settings generally deemed to be the most commonly used in all projects. It is meant to be used together with <a href="https://github.com/generaxion/axio-starter" rel="nofollow ugc">axio-starter</a> but functions on its own as well. Use the site specific plugin to configure the specs of this plugin.</p>
<p>This plugin replaces the previous Aucor Core and is backwards compatible with same function and filter names working.</p>

<h4>Helper functions</h4>
<p>Directory: root</p>
<p>Contains functions, like enhanced (internal) debugging, for all features/subfeatures to use</p>
<h3>Configuration (optional)</h3>
<h4>“Active” subfeatures</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The <em>style guide</em> subfeature overrides the WP function <code>the_content()</code> with default markup for testing the most common tag styles, when the GET parameter ‘?ac-debug=styleguide’ is found in the url. You can however replace this markup with a filter:</p>
<p>add_filter(‘axio_core_custom_markup’, function($content) {<br />
  $content = ‘custom markup’;<br />
  return $content;<br />
});</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The <em>wireframe</em> subfeature adds outlines to all elements on page to help with visual debugging, when the GET parameter ‘?ac-debug=wireframe’ is found in the url. It also appends ‘?ac-debug=wireframe’ to the href value in all anchor tags on the page to keep the feature enabled during navigation.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Disable feature/subfeature</h4>
<p>By default all the features/subfeatures are on, but you can disable the ones you don’t want with filters in theme or plugin. Here is a minimal code snippet you can use to disable features:</p>
<pre><code><?php
// disable a feature in Axio Core
add_filter('feature or subfeature key', '__return_false');
</code></pre>
<p>Note that if you disable a feature, all underlying subfeatures will be disabled as well.</p>
