May consider to achieve by PowerShell:
Try using Set-PlacesSettings
-AllowInConnectionsList
• Controls whether users can be added to other users' list of collaborators.
• Default is ON for all users.
• You can turn this OFF to prevent users from appearing in each other’s Places list unless explicitly favorited.
Example
Set-PlacesSettings -AllowInConnectionsList $false

Hi Kidd_Ip,
Thanks for the suggestion. The syntax is incorrect though. The correct syntax is:
Set-PlacesSettings -AllowInConnectionsList 'Default:false'
I have made this change and will report back if this has resolved my issue or not.

UPDATE
Running the command Set-PlacesSettings -AllowInConnectionsList 'Default:false' did not fix the issue. In fact, this prevents you from favoriting anybody.
