I don’t quite get it, is it a wider term than child pornography or more narrow (e.g. excludes some types of materials that could be considered porn but strictly speaking doesn’t depict abuse)? The abbreviation sounds like some kind of exotic Surface to Air Missile lol
“Child pornography” is a term NGO’s and Law enforcement are trying to get phased out. It makes it sound like CSAM is related to porn, when in fact it is simply abuse of a minor.
Still a bit confusing to me. In my jurisdiction, child pornography is the legal term, which really applies independently of whether anyone is abused or have had their sexual integrity violated (e.g a 17 year old, above the age of consent, voluntarily is depicted in a sexual context and voluntarily shares the content with peers, e.g. depicts a child that doesn’t exist)

It does.
Somehow acronyms just end up sounding cool. Guess we should just use the full form. That would be better.
