> Is a WhatsApp group with 1k members spreading disinformation still a private message?

Yes it is.

A “public post” is when the message was directed towards anyone who cares to listen.

A “private post” is when the message was directed to a specific group of recipients. The length of the list of recipients doesn’t grant a non-recipient access rights to the message.

This is easy stuff.
