New contacts as well as people with similar interests

New contacts as well as people with similar interests, can be quickly located on the network. But if users want to keep things private and only interact with friends they already know, that's fine too.

Does "New contacts" in the above refer to "New interaction with similar interests?" Thanks.

This looks like sloppy writing to me; they are trying to tell you that you can meet strangers through this website, or if that scares you, you can just communicate with people you already know. "New contacts" to me would include people with similar interests, and should not be contrasted ("as well as") with them. "
