It is not possible for 3rd parties to disable Intel ME. Nobody but Intel themselves can disable ME.
The most you can do is drop it to some kind of reduced functionality mode some time after boot (through the HAP bit, or hackery which overwrites part of the flash memory). This is why dishonest vendors like Purism resort to confusing terminology like "neutralize".
