An investigation by French newspaper Le Monde found that the highly confidential movements of U.S. President Joe Biden, presidential rivals Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, and other world leaders can be easily tracked online through a fitness app that their bodyguards use.
But the U.S. Secret Service told the newspaper that it doesn’t believe the protection it provides was in any way compromised.
Le Monde found that some U.S. Secret Service agents use the Strava fitness app, including in recent weeks after two assassination attempts on Trump, in a video investigation released in French and in English. Strava is a fitness tracking app primarily used by runners and cyclists to record their activities and share their workouts with a community.

You’re being downvoted for suddenly jumping into conspiracy theory mode instead of asking normally.
So suspecting something is now a conspiracy theory? Gotta love the internet lol
Fitness isn’t something you just achieve and it’s done. You need to keep exercising to retain that level of fitness.
It sucks that some nice people actually replied to your shitty comment.
They’re highly trained and want to show their friends how far they ran this morning.
Kind of like when Special Forces guys showed off their morning runs on the same app a few years ago. In a patch of Yemen that they weren’t officially supposed to be on.
So they can use it to help in maintaining their required high level of fitness?

It must be really tough for you, with so many things in life not making sense like this.
Do you know what Strava is? It’s for tracking your times and routes, your level of expertise is irrelevant.
Are you trying to tell me that highly motivated people who are into fitness like to keep track of metrics to see how well they are doing? That’s just silly.
No, we’re trying to tell this other asshole, but he’s just too obtuse to let anything sink in
Fuck you, dude.
No thanks. I have higher standards. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors though!
Do you think they memorize how many steps they took? Do you think they calculate calories burned in real time in their head?
Why do you need to calculate all of that in a fucking app? This is fucking stupid. Am I crazy for thinking that a supposedly highly trained men need a god damn app to train? They can’t go to the gym like normal dudes and just workout like we all do???
And a smart watch can calculate steps???
🤣🤣 BOMBS AWAY 🤣🤣
