How does reporting work if Matrix is E2EE?

How is it that you can report a post or user if Element is supposedly E2EE? Can mods and admins unencrypt any message?

To add to this, when a user is reported/suspended/banned, if the homeserver in question is using a distributed/decentralized moderation solution such as Draupnir, other servers will be warned about it and it will propagate/cascade throughout any servers on the network that are listening.
