Core values never changed. You can ask the Firefox development team at their mailing list why they decided to go with Pocket instead of building their own solution based on Firefox Sync (which is now called Firefox Accounts).

If the ToS and practices from Read It Later or any other partner are beyond what you consider valid or good, you can always reach Mozilla through the user voices channel and the development mailing list. The Advocacy group would also probably want to hear more about your concerns. One can direct criticism into positive changes. Mozilla is what we make of it, you can help make it better by helping the processes if you don't agree with them.

The ToS concerns have been raised repeatedly on moz-governance.

We have been told not to worry about it, everything is probably fine. Probably. One guy is going to check, sometime.

Moz Legal posted about the ToS here https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.governance/2PYq2w8te...

Downvoted because ToS concerns have indeed been queried about repeatedly on various public forums.

And they have been answered here https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.governance/2PYq2w8te...

Opting for the solution that is offering less privacy to users requires an explanation. This isn't one. They say that they've collaborated with Pocket on their ToS, but those are still way worse than Firefox Sync's.
