Moves will share fitness data with Facebook after all

Moves on iOS
When Facebook bought Moves, the companies swore that they wouldn't "commingle" data and raise hackles among privacy-minded users. Many took that to mean that Facebook would take a largely hands-off approach to the fitness tracker. However, it now looks like the two companies may have just been wording their plans very carefully -- Moves has updated its privacy policy to say that it will share information with Facebook to "help provide, understand, and improve" services. On the surface, that sounds like the very data mixing that wasn't supposed to happen. What gives?
