Quote from US doj [1]:
> The term “child pornography” is
currently used in federal statutes and
is defined as any visual depiction of
sexually explicit conduct involving a
person less than 18 years old. While
this phrase still appears in federal
law, “child sexual abuse material” is
preferred, as it better reflects the
abuse that is depicted in the images
and videos and the resulting trauma
to the child. In fact, in 2016, an
international working group,
comprising a collection of countries
and international organizations
working to combat child exploitation,
formally recognized “child sexual
abuse material” as the preferred term.
Child porn is csam.

Yes, CSAM is preferred for material depicting abuse reflecting resulting trauma. But not for child porn such as manga of fictional children depicting no abuse and traumatising no child. > Child porn is csam. "CSAM isn’t pornography—it’s evidence of criminal exploitation of kids." That's from RAINN, the US's largest anti-sexual violence organisation.
- pyrale 9mo agoDude, I litterally provided terminology notice from the DOJ. At this point I don't really know what else will convince you.
- chrisjj 9mo ago> I litterally provided terminology notice from the DOJ You provided a terminology preference notice from the (non-lawmaking) DOJ containing a suggestion which the (lawmaking) Congress did not take up. Thanks for that. And if/when the French in question decide to take it up, I am sure we'll hear the news! :)

Chosen quotes: > CSAM includes both real and synthetic content, such as images created with artificial intelligence tools. > It doesn’t matter if the child agreed to it. It doesn’t matter if they sent the image themselves. If a minor is involved, it’s CSAM—and it’s illegal.

- chrisjj 9mo agoI agree with that. I'd hope everyone would.
