Am I the only one to think it's rather strange that you get redirected to csam.be when logging in to a Belgian government website using your electronic ID? Really, didn't they bother to do a quick Google search to see what CSAM stands for?

That may very well be the case. However, Belgium is just a small country in a very big world where the use of English is quite common. For instance, the European Commission launched a proposal last year on CSAM. One would think that would trigger a 'Houston, we have a problem'-vibe somewhere...

Pretty sure the portal name existed before people started using this acronym instead of CP.

Yup exactly. And English isn’t the top language in good old Europe - especially since the Brits left…

The world does not center around english speakers, especially niche english terminology.
