As a Strava user, I have to agree with you here and just say that a lot of the outrage seems to come from people that never used the service. I’ve been using Strava for a couple of years already, and I must say that they are one of the most privacy concerned services out there. At one point I was getting annoyed already at them constantly publishing tips on how to change your privacy settings to stay secure and to make sure that others can’t find out your location and that you know the implications of all the new features that they pushed forward (like flybys, home/starting point and others).
What I find absurd here is the fact that people working in the military or other privacy sensitive fields would actually use a public social network to constantly publish updates on your activities and your precise location. I’m just a random guy that runs and bikes and still don’t let my activities public or only share some with friends. I still find it weird to blame Strava here for something that is so obvious. No matter what platform you use, be it you personal site, Facebook or others, you just don’t share certain things when you know you work in a certain environment.
