Cloudflare has free CSAM scanning tools available - they really just need to implement it.
When did “CP” become “CSAM”?
If you want to change the acronym, wouldn’t “CR” make more sense?
'cause porn is made with consenting adults. CSAM isn't porn. CR is typically what's depicted in CSAM (assuming that R stands for rape), but there's two (or more) separate though closely related crimes here. That and SA (sexual assault) covers a wider breadth of activities, which is good if a person wants to quibble over the term rape when regardless something horrific happened to a kid and videos/images of said horrific thing is now getting shared among pedophiles.
Will note I've only seen CSAM used when I started using Lemmy, so I'm not really sure when people started using the term over CP. I'm personally for it - it more accurately describes what it is, and while I haven't seen this term in the wild SAM to describe video or images of non-consenual sex acts among adults is good too.
