> We use the term child sexual abuse to reflect the gravity of the images and videos we deal with. Child pornography, child porn and kiddie porn are not acceptable descriptions. A child cannot consent to their own abuse.

- lxjum 7y agoPornography is "the portrayal of sexual subject matter for the exclusive purpose of sexual arousal", it doesn't say anywhere that the actors have consented.
- lucideer 7y agoWhich would make it a superset, and thus problematic if the narrower definition is what is legally intended.
- matt-attack 7y agoFurthermore there may be no actors at all. CGI CP is still considered CP by our despicable government.
- ars 7y agoYou can make a distinction if you want: A child taking their own sexual photos of themselves, with no other person involved, would still be child porn, but not child sexual abuse.
- matt-attack 7y agoThat’s preposterous because it presumes there is even a real child depicted. Only a subset of CP even contains real children.
