Thanks for the suggestion. Honestly, I am not expert enough to edit the core libraries. I was hoping for simpler solutions like gcof / dconf editing. If there is no way to get this done, thinking of something (script or package) that can intercept clipboard events and empty the clipboard instantly.

If you do not want to disable the clipboard, but just prevent the hotkeys for copy/paste to stop working, then that will be easier. However, then you are not blocking access through the menus or other means.
