The Spin

Narrative A

This report has exposed how bad actors could use fitness app data to track potential victims. The security issues linked to Strava could not only endanger the lives of world leaders but put ordinary people at risk of crimes such as stalking and robbery.

AP News

Narrative B

It’s wrong to blame Strava, which has several privacy toggles that limit what data the public can see. This is negligence on the part of the security officials who failed to acknowledge the risks and chose not to use these privacy features.
