    Not sure where it originates but it’s the preferred term in UK policing and therefore most media reporting to refer to what might have been called “CP” on the interweb in the past as CSAM. Probably because porn implies it’s art rather than crime, and also just a wider umbrella term

        LOL, You mean the letters C and P can stand for lots of stuff. At first I thought you meant the term “child porn” was ambiguous.

        Counter Surface to Air Missile equipment or ordinance.

        Why not just say Child Porn or Explicit Images of Children? Who are we protecting by refusing to say the words?
