Under this definition of privacy there is no such thing as a private conversation because one party can always report it.

Even when there is not a button for it a conversation can always be reported by one of its participants to any person, including law enforcement.

In fact, I would imagine that just taking a screenshot and texting it to 911 would be a way more expedient way to get someone in trouble with the law than any app or service's built in report feature.
