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. 
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.
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.

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.

Disable All WordPress Updates and Theme Editors is a handy tool that allows you to not only disable all types of WordPress updates but also allows you to disable WordPress theme and plugin editors.
So, this plugin is developed with an intention to prevent all types of accidental modifications that can happen on your site without your knowledge thus keeping your site safe all the time.
By default, all types of automatic updates are enabled on WordPress – Be it plugin, theme and even WordPress itself. All of these updates happen automatically in the background without requiring your consent or permission. Although it is always advised to keep WordPress updated, during an automatic update, your site can undergo a lot of changes to a point that can even break your site. And the last thing you want is that your customers see a broken version of your site. So it is always advisable to plan updates carefully by testing them on a staging environment first and then deploying them on the live site.
Apart from the updates, there are times when an amateur developer working on your site can try editing files directly from your dashboard using theme editor or plugin editors offered by WordPress. Sometimes changes made through these editors can badly break your site.
As a bonus, we also added a functionality that allows you to Disable WordPress’s default Gutenberg block editor and Manage Debug mode on WordPress This plugin uses the highly reliable and tested <a href="https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-config-transformer" rel="nofollow ugc">wp-cli/wp-config-transformer</a> command for writing constants to wp-config.php.
This plugin serves as a single solution to five major problems on your WordPress site. Thus saving you effort and time to install and configure multiple extra plugins to accomplish all of these! This plugin allows you to disable or manage –
<ul>
<li>Disable All major and minor updates of WordPress.</li>
<li>Disable All theme & plugin updates.( Automatic & Manual)</li>
<li>Disable Theme editor and plugin editor.</li>
<li>Disable Gutenberg block editor.</li>
<li>Debugging mode on your WordPress site.</li>
</ul>
