 * Hello There
 * If I disable hotlinking, would it be any negative impact to twitter card or any
   richsnippet preview?

 * Hello,
 * Preventing hotlinking would make your media resources appear as unavailable to
   those services, which I think is not a good idea.
 * On the other hand, if you prevent hotlinking, but still allow the IPs and hostnames
   used by those networks’ servers access the media, then possibly there shouldn’t
   be any problem.
 * But, I have no such experience, so I cannot advice for or against the enforcement
   of any policy that prevents hotlinking.
 * I highly recommend asking this question to those services’ support forums.
 * Kind Regards,
 * George
