Hello Katie,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Currently it's not configurable but you can manually remove them from the theme file located in /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/story/default.php and remove the codes below,

	<div class="es-story-footer" data-story-footer>

		<div class="es-story-meta">

			<div class="es-story-friends" data-story-friends>

				<i class="ies-user"></i>

				<div class="es-story-friends-textbox textboxlist">

					<input type="text" class="textboxlist-textField" autocomplete="off" placeholder="<?php echo JText::_( 'COM_EASYSOCIAL_WHO_ARE_YOU_WITH', true ); ?>" data-textboxlist-textField />

				</div>

			</div>

			<div class="es-story-locations" data-story-location>

				<i class="ies-location-2"></i>

				<i class="fd-loading"></i>

				<div class="es-story-location-form" data-story-location-form>

					<div class="es-story-location-textbox" data-story-location-textbox data-language="<?php echo Foundry::config()->get('general.location.language'); ?>">

						<input type="text" class="input-sm form-control" placeholder="<?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYSOCIAL_WHERE_ARE_YOU_NOW'); ?>" autocomplete="off" data-story-location-textField disabled/>

						<div class="es-story-location-autocomplete" data-story-location-autocomplete>

							<div class="es-story-location-suggestions" data-story-location-suggestions></div>

						</div>

					</div>

				</div>

				<div class="es-story-location-buttons">

					<a class="es-story-location-remove-button" href="javascript: void(0);" data-story-location-remove-button><i class="ies-cancel-2"></i></a>

					<a class="es-story-location-detect-button" href="javascript: void(0);" data-es-provide="tooltip" data-placement="top" data-original-title="<?php echo JText::_( 'COM_EASYSOCIAL_DETECT_CURRENT_LOCATION' , true );?>" data-story-location-detect-button><i class="ies-power"></i></a>

				</div>

			</div>

		</div>



		<div class="es-story-actions btn-group btn-group-sm<?php echo $story->requirePrivacy() ? '' : ' no-privacy'; ?>">

			<button class="btn btn-es-primary es-story-submit" data-story-submit type="button"><?php echo JText::_("COM_EASYSOCIAL_STORY_SHARE"); ?></button>

			<?php if ($story->requirePrivacy()) { ?>

			<div class="es-story-privacy" data-story-privacy><?php echo Foundry::privacy()->form(null, SOCIAL_TYPE_STORY, $this->my->id, 'story.view', true); ?></div>

			<?php } ?>

		</div>

	</div>

I will try to make this configurable in the next RC
