I agree, closed source means we can't do anything apart from decide whether we believe Meta or not.

But my understanding is that the 'report' is from a user's WhatsApp client—if someone sends you a message that you think is reportable, you can report them to Meta. As part of the report, your WhatsApp client will forward some information to Meta.
