 This is a follow-up to #41784.

 Question - is there any admin setting I need to change to have the
 blocking in #41784 take effect? Or should it just be happening
 automatically for all oEmbed providers?

 On my WP 4.9.5 sites, every time I drop the URL for a tweet into the
 editor, I get the nice embedded view - but I also wind up with two
 trackers from Twitter on my site.

 Ticket #41784 seems like it should have passed along the "dnt" query
 parameter, which should have indicated to Twitter that I did not want the
 trackers. So my guess at this point is that either:

 1. There is a setting somewhere to enable this that I have not turned on;
 or

 2. Twitter is no longer respecting the (voluntary) "dnt" parameter.

 Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
