It’s not just “Account A contacted account B.” And that’s it.
It’s more like “Account B using their Facebook profile contacted from a mobile device in Minnesota via an IP address that is known to Meta as a VPN address to connect Account A also using their Facebook profile, who answered from a laptop in Mexico City.
