This happens the other way around as well (and is why, imho, both Android and iOS should flat out remove the capability from their platforms) - if TikTok knows your phone number for whatever reason, and the OTHER person uploads their contacts with you in it, that's enough to create the connection and start prompting you to friend them.
- lloeki 3y agoRight, I can deny contact uploading all day long, as long as a bunch of people that have my number upload theirs to foostter it quickly paints a social graph where I'm† precisely pinpointed even though I did not interact with foostter. † Or a hash but that's barely pseudonymous. The social graph alone could constitute PII as it could easily identify me unequivocally, but here's no way for me nor anyone outside foostter to know what happens internally, let alone request erasure.
