#43932: Is there any admin setting to enable Do Not Track for Twitter embeds? (Or
does Twitter no longer respect dnt?)

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!
