Yup, I don't know for sure that it's connected. I just happened to hear about the report in Le Monde today and also read this post. Potentially I'm putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5.
If it's linked I suspect it'll either be political pressure or just the desire to avoid negative pressure. I know they've a new CEO in the last couple of years, so I suspect that explains why nothing was done in 2018 and it's a different story now.

That shit happened years ago though. (2018 in fact: https://www.wired.com/story/strava-heat-map-military-bases-fitness-trackers-privacy/)
You can't tell me it has taken them 6 years to go "oh maybe we won't show other people's tracks". It's only in 3rd party apps anyway. You can still see everything in Strava so it's still there.
It's not like it's Strava's responsibility to manage the privacy for individuals. If you're a soldier or some shit, why are you uploading anything to Strava?! HA!
They have privacy zones and Private rides and stuff for normies.
