Quote from the announcement press release on 24 April: For those of you that use the Moves app – the Moves experience will continue to operate as a standalone app, and there are no plans to change that or commingle data with Facebook. In something of a contrast to the privacy policy term: We may share information, including personally identifying information, with our Affiliates (companies that are part of our corporate groups of companies, including but not limited to Facebook) to help provide, understand, and improve our Services. Yeah, I know it's pretty standard, but it still irks. At least they were pretty honest with their "so long, we're off to Facebook" post, in stark contrast to most acquihires' "we deeply care about the new plethora of opportunities we can envisage to broaden engagement with our diverse community of users" bollocks.

I posted a comment on the acquisition about how I didn't trust FB not to "commingle" the data (can't find the comment now for the life of me) and got down-voted with one of the only comments being along the lines of "Where is your proof?". I don't need proof to know that FB would do something like this eventually. I am glad I got rid of Moves when I read about the acquisition. Thankfully my Pulse has all but replaced Moves for me and I can be fairly certain Withings won't be selling to FB anytime soon. EDIT: Odd, I found it via HN Search but it's not on the comments page: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7okticb5nnl5xm0/Screenshot%202014-05-05%2009.39.17.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/7okticb5nnl5xm0/Screenshot%202014-...
