All of the tracking done by strava and fitbit is all just built into your telephone, same as myfitnesspal and most of the other ones.
Your options are not carrying a standard phone, or just not deliberately tracking yourself.
These are not "always on" sorts of things, you have to enable them every time you want to be tracked.
- darklajid 9y agoThat's going a bit far. You can just opt out of the apps as well? I don't have either of those. I don't use Google Fit (or whatever that broken thing is called these days). True, my phone can track my position and steps etc. - but I made every effort to opt out of bullshit and to not opt in into worse things (aka .. Strava etc.). A phone is problematic these days. But I do believe that it mostly does what you want it to. People just love to share their lives online?
- samstave 9y agoHrm - I wonder why Apple or google have not yet been requested to build a government clearance only device yet?
- fjsolwmv 9y agoThey already exists. An enterprises user can configure a custom app store and ban the consumer app store.
- jlgaddis 9y agoThere are already mobile devices designed for the government (see the Obama Blackberry, for example). Also, like companies, the government uses (can use) MDM policies to enforce settings, restrict applications, etc., on iPhones, etc.
