It's a tricky issue. In many countries it's not illegal and quite common for children to run around naked in public, during the summer on beaches for example, and so millions of people have holiday photos that are technically CSAM in their possession that they don't even know they have.
- direwolf20 8mo agoCSAM must be for sexual gratification usually. A medical anatomy textbook isn't CSAM.
- woooooo 8mo agoAnd now you're in court strenuously arguing that you weren't sexually gratified by the photo of your kid in the tub. Obviously most people are sensible most of the time but sometimes they are not.
- chrisjj 8mo agoMore than that. CSAM is evidence of abuse. Hence the "A". And nudity is not required.
- direwolf20 8mo agoCSAM has a meaning identical to child porn but doesn't make that meaning explicit. Drawn or generated depictions of child nudity can be considered CSAM in some jurisdictions.
- mschuster91 8mo agoYep. Germany is very very strict for example. Even textual descriptions fall under that law.
- chrisjj 8mo ago"CSAM isn’t pornography—it’s evidence of criminal exploitation of kids." That's from RAINN, the US's largest anti-sexual violence organisation.
