To collaborate with the question and show an example of replacing it with an empty Container().

Here's the example below:

import "package:flutter/material.dart";

void main() {
  runApp(new ControlleApp());
}

class ControlleApp extends StatelessWidget { 
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      title: "My App",
      home: new HomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  HomePageState createState() => new HomePageState();
}

class HomePageState extends State {
  bool visibilityTag = false;
  bool visibilityObs = false;

  void _changed(bool visibility, String field) {
    setState(() {
      if (field == "tag"){
        visibilityTag = visibility;
      }
      if (field == "obs"){
        visibilityObs = visibility;
      }
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context){
    return new Scaffold(
      appBar: new AppBar(backgroundColor: new Color(0xFF26C6DA)),
      body: new ListView(
        children: [
          new Container(
            margin: new EdgeInsets.all(20.0),
            child: new FlutterLogo(size: 100.0, colors: Colors.blue),
          ),
          new Container(
            margin: new EdgeInsets.only(left: 16.0, right: 16.0),
            child: new Column(
              children: [
