So how did the carriers network not block Strava? I doubt the sailors watch was direct to satellite.

And why would a Le Monde 'journalist' dox his 'buddy' and expose and thus endanger the ship? Anything for a click?

I'm sure someone in the tech team is getting questioned on this.

Surely the GPDR does not prevent users from consenting to share their data with a public audience.
reply
It doesn't, but the effect of gaining consent and being opt-in vastly reduced the data. Strava also made it (in 2019) so you'd need at least N samples for it to be visible rather than simply a single user.

Public sharing on Strava is opt-in for users outside of Europe, too. Yet many users choose to share publically.

Presumably you're talking about the Global Heatmap? This used to be updated only annually. Is it more real-time now?
