Social Network contact data

I downloaded my account data archive from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Mastodon, and Flickr. The files below should give you a sense for what kind of contact details get included in each export. Basically I'm wondering to what degree you can look at a list of contacts and use it to keep in touch outside of that service.

If you see a note that says "We can make this file beautiful and searchable ..." that is something that GitHub added because the CSV files are not technically valid.

facebook.json

{
  "friends_v2": [
    {
      "name": "[Name]",
      "timestamp": [Numeric timestamp]
    },
    ...
  ]
}

flickr.json

{
  "contacts": {
    "[Name]": "https://www.flickr.com/people/[Username]/",
    ...
  }
}

linkedin.csv

Notes:
"When exporting your connection data, you may notice that some of the email addresses are missing. You will only see email addresses for connections who have allowed their connections to see or download their email address using this setting https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/privacy/email. You can learn more here https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/261"
