      It’s child porn, and as horrifying as you’ve been told it is. Some scumbag trolls were posting it on lemmy.world’s memes sub and so .world finally decided to close open signups.

          Porn is a legal thing that normal people enjoy. The term CSAM takes a stance that it is always abuse. I think they are basically interchangeable but CSAM is the currently preferred term.

              Sometimes, terms need changing to separate it from something else. Porn in itself is legal and fine. When adding children in the mix it’s easy to get caught up in the porn part of the discussion rather than the child part.

              Separating the terms puts the focus more on the child abuse part.
