Ah yes, here come the obligatory downvotes, lol.
Because it doesn't contribute to the discussion.
I for one think there's some element of surprise that accompanies these articles that undermines the mechanisms of the technology being discussed and places blame on platforms that administer it.

Huh? Who are these NGOs looking out for? Why wouldn't you tell FB in the first instance?
But, if it's encrypted, isn't it impossible to quantify?

I'm guessing since these are publicly accessible groups via apps as the article suggests, moderators could in theory search out and shut down such groups. Not sure how much data they are able to provide to the authorities though, I guess prosecuting the people is the difficult part.
Yeah. It's just bad writing in the opening paragraph. WhatsApp doesn't provide search but groups can be joined via links. Third-party apps and sites use the links to index groups. Some groups share illegal content. WhatsApp should hire people to crawl those apps/sites, find the illegal groups, join, verify and ban. Not entirely unreasonable. Won't fix anything* but if the company is big and well funded they should at…
And then when they recycle the unused number, and you get it and discover you are "lifetime banned", and I'm quite sure there's no appeal process.
Newsflash: e2e encryption is used to send content that stands to gain most from using it.
Careful there. You don't want to cause people to pull an Australia.

This is a problem that needs a good solution, but you're literally suggesting that an arm of the one of the world's largest data collectors and propaganda engines, which offers free encrypted public communication to the masses, should fund and operate an internal spy agency whose job is to blend in and infiltrate groups and conversations in order to find illegal content. At what point is Facebook still not a mass-surveillance network?
The medium used to communicate is irrelevant to the discussion here. If they can't control the unencrypted platforms, why are they pulling focus to encrypted platforms if not to influence public opinions regarding encrypted mediums?
I don't think WhatsApp in particular has a problem.
Are houses a problem because they hide crimes with their walls?
