Just came across this - what a PITA… Strava is becoming Meta...

I’ve just seen an update / official announcement; long story short, Strava says they 1) will NOT restore the removed links (except for the small group of “verified users”), and 2) will NOT restore mistakenly removed non-links either:

 

This is a terrible decision. Seriously - in what universe is it ok to delete customer data and pretend that it's ok to not fix that?

That sucks - but given the current broader environment we are living in, I’d say “we are in that type of universe right now…” 

But are we able to add new links? Or will those still get yanked from our posts?

Thanks for the update

The current solution is even worse than before. Now only verified clubs can post links, which are almost none. 

So it has got nothing to do with internet safety at all.
