Even further into the tweets it says:

"Facebook can upload the entire files of all system libraries to their server through their Android apps"

and

"I found they have already collected metadata of 2233 system libraries from my phone, in which 1162 system libraries are pending to be uploaded"

So they've already uploaded the metadata and are in process of uploading the whole files.

Are you sure it’s not the metadata that is pending to be uploaded?
