I feel like asking what "CSAM" means is going to make me sad.
...
So I'm not.
It's just another acronym for CP. I don't know why they started using "Child Sexual Abuse Material" instead.
It's one of those "language updates" but this ones actually makes sense.
"Pornography" is a legal and consensual act. Child porn is not "children doing pornography" by definition. It is a record of sexual assault of children, the new name is far more accurate, just a bit more unwieldy
"Revenge porn" suggests otherwise.
By design. It's the same reason they say SA instead of rape. Gotta broaden the definitions to their breaking point so they can be used to smear political opponents by accusing them of the minimum case (when they aren't even guilty of that much) and letting allies assume they are guilty of the worst case.
It's typical lefty language manipulation for their benefit.
Open a site for leftists.
Immediately have a cheese pizza problem.
Probably something to do with the definition of "porn" itself legally and to expand the list of what is illegal.
That's how these things always work, they make it increasingly vague so that way they have more things to get people on if they are after them and so that way when they say "so and so was found with CSAM" people assume the worst when it might just be pictures of their own toddler in the bath.
You're guilty comrade, we just have to determine the crime
Exactly, and "we found Child Material on your devices" is so general and vague that it can mean basically anything, but its strong enough to instantly convict in the court of public opinion.
Including getting a warrant, which gives even more ability to determine a crime.
