They're worse than that. Houses are a mass medium of child abuse. It's a lot easier to rape children indoors than to find a a suitably secluded spot outside any house.
I don't think you have grasped what a mass medium is - you don't get millions of people joining each house. You get lots of houses with a few people in them.

Those are called towns. Like, you know, a collection of houses.
Also, this (Frankly dumb) article perhaps unknowingly just marketed the existence of these groups to new fans (I note that the link to the cited Android app for whatsapp-group-discovery now 404's) and THAT will surely be harmful.
I'd comment on the article itself but Techcrunch's website is a dogpile of shit with a terrible onboarding workflow and site design.
Newsflash: e2e encryption is used to send content that stands to gain most from using it.

Why aren't builders taking more initiative to employ moderators to monitor crimes inside the houses they build?

The metaphor is pretty tortured at this point, but almost all towns have police forces.
Or rather, humanity has a lot of problems. Including rape, pedophilia, murders, etc. I don't think WhatsApp in particular has a problem. Are houses a problem because they hide crimes with their walls?
In other words, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people"?

Which are not expected to go inside every house because there could be child abusing ongoing there.
