Disable Create News Post from SharePoint Home Page
Add an option from SharePoint Admin's Settings to disable or hide the new "+ Create News Post" from the SharePoint Home. This is a great feature, but how about the people who are not using it or are not ready yet to use this feature at all?
There is an option to hide or disable the " + Create Site" link, but nothing for hiding or disabling the "+ Create News Post" link.

This needs to be fixed. We need a way to disable the create news post option. Even if we could just hide the button that would be fine.

I have a workaround. Create a simple FLOW. I have created the following:
When an item is created in site pages
condition IF promoted state = 2, then delete the item
Send email to created by to let them know the feature is not available -

Please hide the option of “+ Create News Post" from the SharePoint Home. It will prevent users to create fake news and authorized news that may circulate within offices globally. Appreciate the team to look into it and implement it quickly. Thanks.

The ideal is good, but letting everyone have the ability to post is bad. This is like building a robot with no off switch.

At a minimum the ability to add news should be disabled for groups with read-only access to the site

Please allow Admins to disable this. So I just deployed one of the designs to my tenant, the News and all of the Contoso news items are appearing and I have no way of disabling them until I can get all configured for my organization!!

Yes, please. Very confusing to shows for sites that aren't even using the News feature.
