As someone working in fraud prevention, the details here are interesting - especially as it's a pretty standard approach.

Before anyone says "WhatsApp can read your messages", please understand the details here: "WhatsApp reviewers gain access to private content when users hit the “report” button on the app, identifying a message as allegedly violating the platform’s terms of service.
