MacOS – How to remove Twitter and Facebook from Mountain Lion

facebookmacossharingtwitter

I want to remove Twitter and Facebook (in the future) from Mountain Lion.

Is it enough to simply remove Twitter.sharingservice from 

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ShareKit.framework/Versions/A/Plugins

What about all these other entries:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Social.framework
/System/Library/Accounts/Access
/System/Library/Accounts/Authentication
/System/Library/CoreServices/SocialPushAgent
/System/Library/InternetAccounts/
/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.twitterd.plist
/System/Library/Messages/Plugins/FaceTime.imservice
/System/Library/SocialServices

Best Answer

Honestly I don't see any benefit in removing the Twitter/Facebook libraries. It may break the installed version as well as lead to problems when upgrading to 10.8.1 etc.

If you want to be sure that nothing you do is ever ending up in Twitter or Facebook just don't log in to these services in Preferences.
