The name, profile pic, etc. is less relevant than the social graph itself. State actors already have phone number <-> name mappings at least about their own residents. If you are just curious about who's visa applications to deny because according to data collected by your IMSI-catcher many of their contacts have participated in an anti-government protest, then the name etc. isn't really relevant.

Yes, I know. My point was that a better term might help you make your point without sounding like you’re claiming something different.
