    Bit of a side note, but why did they go with CSAM, when CP is quicker and easier to say/type?

      “Pornography” implies legitimacy and consent, from what I’ve read.

      CP is a name from the perspective of the consumer, CSAM is a name from the perspective of the victim. Since we want to take the side of the victim, we use the term relevant to the victim.
