Disable Gravatar
People who use WordPress and the BuddyPress plugin can improve their privacy by disabling Gravatar fallback when a profile picture is missing. You can prevent third-party requests to gravatar.com simply by creating a plugin with this code:
add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true');

The plugin can be downloaded from the public WordPress repository.
