Is it possible to globally disable "Follow Me"?

Hello and Happy New Year!

Does anyone know how to globally block the 'Follow Me To' and 'Follow Me Here' features?.
I know that I can hide "Forward" menu on the phone but maybe other options are possible (NUSN)?
 
You can still use any kind of CTI application like OneX Portal, Workplace, User Portal etc.

Without having had a look into an IPO I guess you should be able to block it through user rights.

Yes It's possible to enable "Block forwarding" - this option is available on User tab and also through User Rights. But it's applies to all forwarding features, not only Follow Me.
I asked about blocking "Follow me" because this feature may be dangerous. With "Follow me here", you can route calls to your phone from any other user without them knowing.
I would like to leave the option to enable classic redirection (CFU, CFNR, CFB) and block "Follow me" only. At the moment the best idea is to remove "Forwarding" from "Features" menu and configure feature keys to enable CFU, CFNR, CFB on the phone.

I've also discovered that this breaks Workplace so don't set that if you're using it :)
