Don't use a terminal emulator, or yes redirect to a file. But that means you'll need to know what the escapes do, and they look cryptic to the layperson. Also, inspect with an editor that replaces non-printing with some other character (like vim, unlike cat) otherwise it's just as bad as letting curl output. And even then, this is probably not a threat you need to worry about.
