      “Child Sexual Abuse Material”. It’s an awkward acronym that’s mostly overtaken “Child Pornography”.

      CSAM is Child Sexual Exploitation Material

      People prefer using this term over CP because the word “porn” is considered too soft. Porn is generally a consensual, adult medium made with adults for adults. CP is not that, it’s first and foremost harm of a child.

        That’s strange to me, because Child Porn sounds revolting to me but CSAM sounds like something I can treat with aspirin.
