When a user flags a conversation/user, it sends a number of historical messages with the report. End-to-end encryption doesn't prevent the end user from forwarding the messages to a third party.

At least in the Signal app (WhatsApp uses a similar crypto) all messages have plausible deniability, nobody can prove they are real or forged because the signature will be deleted as soon as the message is received.
