Moral: don&#x27;t use users&#x27; contact lists to bootstrap or enhance social services. Barring strong differential privacy implementations, it will cause problems.<p>Implementing a &#x27;what friends do I have on this service?&#x27; feature is one thing. Retaining that data and feeding it in to the recommender is very likely to cause this kind of problem.
