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.

    I've got the opposite to this problem but may have a workaround for those of you who want to 'remove' the option to create new news posts, etc. It will still allow you to create a new page or a copy of the page though.
    Create a new site page, edit the page and present it as the home page. Go to the Site Pages library, click the elipsis on the new page you created and click on 'Make homepage'.
    This will then present a homepage that will only allow you to create a new page or copy of the current page when clicking the 'New' button at the top of the page as a member of the site.

    It's not just 'News post' I need disabled but I also want to prevent users access to all other items in the menu such as 'Document library' and 'List'.

    This option should be listed in the Site Permissions settings for Permission groups. It would be useful to have a Contributors group who can edit documents, but cannot touch or even see the contents of Site Pages and Site Contents.

    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!!
