I thought it was open source.

This doesn't prevent them from running different software or logging requests, but we have unsealed court orders, which is better than most other services that could receive them.

Sorry ur right. But yeah as u said they could be running anything. Im confident in the fact they cant read messages just not so confident they arent collecting metadata capable of building a social graph. Sealed sender doesnt do much good when u have a centralised server.
