Uh, no, Pocket's client side code is open.

The most you need to be worried about is Pocket reading the list of sites saved to your Pocket.

Would Pocket be required to secretly turn over my reading list to law enforcement and not let me know? No warrant canaries on their site. I don't know how well a startup could fight the courts in this matter, as even the 'big boys' don't seem able to.

Mozilla could be just as easily compelled to turn over user data as Pocket, they're both US companies bound by US law.

I know, that why I said that the big boys can't seem to fight it, but maybe Mozilla would try, whereas a startup would just get immediately rolled over by the justice department.

But couldn't an alternative be something encrypted which Mozilla has no access to?
