A person adding their contact list isn’t “ad targeting.” Some companies literally upload email contact lists to Facebook and pay for ads that will be shown to anyone on that list that also has a Facebook account.


It's worth noting that they hash their email lists and upload those. They are never given access to a list of the list of people on facebook who share those addresses.
