 Duplicate of #14682.

 If you want to deactivate Gravatars globally, you can create a small mu-
 plugin to enforce it. Increasing the priority should cover prevent any of
 the various custom avatar plugins from overriding it.

 `add_filter( 'get_avatar', '__return_empty_string', 1000 );`

 For folks who leave Gravatar activated, there's language in the privacy
 policy template to help them inform their visitors about it.
