Social Media Management
How can I stop the new Social Media Management application from being installed?
Don't particularly want unecessary crap being installed.

Hey there! There isn't a way to keep that from being installed but you can disable it from WHM >> Feature Manager so it won't show up for end users.

How do you know if you're one of the unlucky ones that get this and/or SEO (powered by XOVI) on cPanel updates?
What file or path should we look for after doing a cPanel update to detect whether this was installed or not?

sparek-3 - the easiest thing to check would be the presence of the items in the left cPanel sidebar. You would also find these packages on the system:
# rpm -qa | grep -i social
cpanel-socialbee-plugin-1.0.5-2.3.1.cpanel.noarch# rpm -qa | grep -i xovi
cpanel-xovi-plugin-1.0.0-1.6.1.cpanel.noarch0 -
I think the RPMs are installed no matter what. It's just a matter of if they are activated in the user's control panels or listed in the feature list section.
I was hoping for something that could be done programmatically so that I don't have to log into a user's control panel on every single server to see if it's active.
From what I've been able to ascertain through various processes, it looks like these plugins are only activated for certain cPanel license holders. I would presume that those license holders would have been contacted and told/asked if they are participating in this "limited roll out" to be aware of this. We were not. So I'm assuming it's not active for any of our servers.

As far as I know there was no advanced communication sent out about the Social Media Manager being added to the interface.
You could check the feature list on the command line if that is easier to do for each server. The features are located in /var/cpanel/features/ and then named how they are in the WHM >> Feature Manager page. For example, the "default" list would only show things that have been customized. The specific flag for this tool is:
socialbee=0
to turn that off.
There's also an API call for the feature system here: https://api.docs.cpanel.net/openapi/whm/operation/update_featurelist/

I think cPanel becomes very expensive and the new functions seems all an ad. Sitebuilder with big banners, site monitoring with claims, and now social bee, all with paid features.
But always are all in english, without any effort on translate the new features, nor improve the poor translations of the old features.
You are invoicing millions without inversion on languages, having a cPanel spanish interface that is scaring for all my clients. Most of the time, I need to assist them because they don't want to enter to that interface, with english and spanish mixed, and the spanish strings translated with google translate, losing meanings and transforming this on a nightmare for non-english speaker clients.
Please, MAKE AN EFFORT on bringing us decent translations, and stop to give us bad quality shareware.
