    Am probably going to delete my Strava account anyway, because of reasons 8, 9, 11 , and 14 in the following

    Given how much data Strava have, both individually and collectively, they make a pretty p*ss poor job of analysing and presenting it back to an interested user. And for a rapidly escalating price.

    Veloviewer OTOH, does an excellent job for a very reasonable price. I’d quite happily pay VV what I pay Strava and ditch Strava’s proto-Muskian nonsense.

    Why should other users be able to see my Strava data through other apps without my consent...

    @neddie, they shouldn't. However if I give them permission then they should be able to do whatever I let them with it. Under the new rules they wouldn't even be allowed to show the data to my coach (if I had one).

    @murrun. I agree. At this point strava is merely serving as a conduit to get data to other sites.

    @acsimpson A lot of the problems with consent stem from the fact the apps are permissive by default, and permission is assumed.

    “Oh you can just switch this off later by doing x y z and these complicated instructions”, is not consent
