In practice
It finds patterns, not people. The output includes typos, old addresses and role inboxes, and nothing in it is checked. Extracting from sites that forbid it, or sending to what you extracted without a legal basis, creates risk.
Verification and sending
Treat extractor output as unverified. Deduplicate it, verify it, and check the source rules before you send.
