My account tab> Preferences> Social media tabs on threads (Twitter, Google+, Facebook) Click 'remove' and it should become highlighted. (This is the 6th option down.)

If that's set correctly, but you still see them when you're signed in, deleting your DU cookies might fix things. If that doesn't help, contact the admins using the admin forum at https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=ata for technical issues.

(If anyone wants view what he's referring to, just sign out of DU so your preference settings are not in effect.)
