** Description changed:

- The following older options need removing
+ Older options need removing so we are looking at making the Social Profile system more generic so instead of hardcoding in things like
+ AIM, Yahoo messenger, Jabber etc. we can just provide a title and URL fields so people can add whatever social media they want
  
- AIM - discontinued in Dec 2017
- Yahoo messanger - discontinued in July 2018
+ That way people can have new things like TikTok, SnapChat etc
  
- The following items need to be discussed as to whether to keep or not
+ As a first phase we will need to deal with the current ones by an
+ upgrade step where any that don't have URL saved need to work out the
+ full URL and then save that back to the database.
  
- ICQ - still active surprisingly
- Skype - still active
- Jabber - Now looks to be https://xmpp.org/
+ Later on we will then need to strip out all the old sub classes for
+ these old options.
  
- The following ones need adding:
- 
- Zoom - can have a perminant url to personal meeting room either a
-        numerical ID that begins with a number > 1 or a vanity ID that
-        begins with a letter
- TikTok
- SnapChat
- YouTube - as social media link to their account
- Big Blue Button
- 
- any other?
+ We also need to make sure the fetching of favicons via  google works the
+ same for social media as it does with allowed iframes.
